I Replaced My iPhone with an iPad mini 6

Показать описание

I tried to use my iPad Mini Cellular as a phone. Could it help me destroy my social media addiction? Reduce my iOS screen time? Make me a happy person?

I've always wanted one device that transforms for all my needs. I'm putting the iPad Mini 5th Generation 5G Cellular to the test... can it replace my phone & computer?

This video really has me thinking about what I actually use my phone for that I couldn’t use an iPad and Apple Watch, like my phone bill would drop, still get my media content, only thing I would miss would be the convenience of the camera

I wish the developers would update all apps to fit the screen perfectly.

I have thought about this same idea as well. I'm surprised there isn't a way to use a dialer app. Not sure if you have done the month challenge yet but one thing I would love to see/know is how well all of this works with just the iPad and the apple watch. I know you covered this a little bit but I would love to see you cover this in more detail - what gaps does the watch fill in that the iPad does do and visa versa. Things like NFC, payments, rewards cards etc?

Similarly, what gaps would there be with just the LTE watch and a non LTE ipad?

Great Video though!

Good video, and I’m glad to see others are thinking about this. I was SOOO excited when Apple turned on phone calling for iPad. I’ve been wanting to get away from having a phone and separate larger screen (that’s bigger than the Max series of iPhones), and they’ve taken one step closer to that ideal.

I’ve been doing a similar experiment for about a month, where I leave my iPhone 11 at home while I carry my iPad Mini 6 with cellular, Apple Watch 6 with cellular, and EarPods Pro. I've found that for me, having the larger screen size with me all the time is a definite bonus. To carry it around, I use a small crossbody bag that fits the Mini perfectly in an external pocket so it’s easy to pull out when needed. When I have to use my slim backpack to carry my office laptop (which I have to do twice per week to be in-office), I still use the bag instead of transferring stuff from the bag into the backpack. If I’m running into the store to get something real quick, I’ll leave the iPad in the car, knowing that I have my wallet and my watch for payment and for a cellphone with EarPods if needed. If I’m doing major shopping, the crossbody and Mini come with me.

Hardware-wise, I’m not a professional camera type person and I find that the quality of the Mini 6 camera is good enough for me. Size-wise, it’s been interesting how I’ve gotten used to the larger size and have no trouble using it. App-wise, I send and receive SMS messages to and from both Android and iOS people so I’m not sure what the comments of “no SMS texting” are about. (You have to set it up on the iPhone, so maybe people don’t know that?) I use FaceTime audio to call people (using the EarPods and not holding the iPad to my head) and if they have an Apple device, we can FaceTime video if they want. Of all the apps I’ve used, I’ve found that there are only two that don’t work so far: Apple CarPlay (which is a definite bummer) and the McDonald’s app (though the Burger King app works fine so I can scratch that occasional junk food itch).

Occasionally I’ve picked up the iPhone and tried using it, but going back to that smaller screen is a real drag for me. I’m sticking with the iPad and my experiment for now.

Best video I have seen so far trying to use an iPad mini as a phone! Great real world uses and explanations. Also very thought out by apple on its limits so you can’t only have the iPad.

If your with Verizon, use Verizon message for text and phone calls using the same phone number as your cell. All messages and phone call sync across devices

i’m so glad you made this video! i’ve low key been thinking about this—i have my iphone and an ipad pro (12.9) but with my mac and my apple watch, i wonder if it would be more efficient/better for me to replace my current ipad and maybe even my iphone with an ipad mini. i’m not a huge social media person anyways, but just for sketching, note taking, texting and watching youtube/streaming services, i wonder if an ipad mini would allow me to kill two birds with one stone while being ultra portable.

To be honest I used my iPad mini to take photos while traveling a few years ago. It lasted 5 years before I got an iPhone. It was a fun and nice experience overall but the camera wasn’t enough for me, so I got the photos from a friend that was accompanying me at that time. But I’m glad it worked haha! Nice job with your content, I enjoyed it a lot. Your content has a LOT of potential and I hope you’re rewarded with your hard work! Love from Chile 🇨🇱❤️

You can replace it and use airpods when making calls. I left my phone at home once and was able up use the iPod touch in my car as a replacement. Since I can make calls on my iPad, I purposely leave my iPhone at home. I have an iPod and iPad mini that I leave in the car at all times.

I got an iPad mini 6 and the screen time on my iPhone went from 7h to 1h~ a day, plus 4h30 on iPad. I basically get less screen time but the quality of consumption is actually good. I get to watch shows and interesting videos instead of scrolling nonstop on whatever app. iPad Mini is my new main device when I'm not on my PC. I never thought I'd become an iPad guy lol

My dad has poor sight and poor hearing, he has a phone which he uses for text and WhatsApp only (his hearing doesn’t allow voice calls and other stuff is too small to see) - would an iPad mini be a good replacement for his phone to help his sight knowing that he can’t use voice calls anyway and he’s too old for things like Apple Pay?

With numbersync, text and phone calls work like normal...just on speaker. Using ear buds will give you privacy. Hopefully the new iPad mini will have NFC!
