If you are looking for an iPad this video will hopefully help you figure out which iPad is best for you and your specific needs in 2022!

Really sucks apple doesn't offer a 128gb option for their cheaper ipads, its one of the best options for price-storage for most people.

Thanks for actually showing the iPad’s purple color in any lighting.

I’ve debated a while whether to get the 64 or the 256gb. The first few days with the Mini, I didn’t like how small everything was on the screen. However, after a week my eyes got adjusted and then I love it!

I made a pro vs con list and honestly, the only con with the 256gb is the price $$$. I looked into external storage as well, but I knew it would be more convenient to have that storage on the iPad. In the end, I went with 256gb to avoid regret, storage anxiety and limiting my usage purely due to the lack of storage (I’ve been thru that with my old iPad). It did hurt my wallet, but I’m someone who keeps my devices for 5+ years so I think it’ll be worth it.

Patience is key, got mine this weekend on fb marketplace 256GB with speck case, screen protector and 2nd gen pencil for $350 definitely a steal.

I have the WiFi + Cellular 256gb iPad Mini 6 and always connected to the internet. I don’t regret it.

My theory about the color issue: If you look at the color wheel, yellow/orange-y is the opposite of purple, which means they cancel each other out. So when you're at the studio under warmer lights, the purple is being canceled out and only the silver is showing. So much that when you took it outside under natural light, which has more of a white/blue hue (depending on the time), it shows the purple. It's not a deffect, it's just that the purple is so subtle that is being canceled out by the warmer light.

Oh god, I just bought this a few days ago. I couldn’t afford the higher storage, I wish they did the 128.

Im always worried about the storage. I didn't know u could get external storage. Im gonna look into that. Good to know ahead of time that some of the apps wont store! Great vid Sticky!!

Thanks for the tip about monthly discounts. I’ve been on the fence and waiting for this iPad to show up in the refurbished store. But instead, I just took your advice, checked Amazon and the config I wanted was discounted. Awesome! 👍

Really good to know I was debating going with a 64 gb air I’m definitely going with the 256 gb version now!

I sold my iPad mini 5 in November 2020 and I regretted that, had so much fun with that device. today January 10th 2023 a little over a year after the mini 6 launched I went out and got one. Best Buy was having a sale today 100 dollars off, so it was $399.99. But I spent about 30 minutes pacing debating on which storage size to go with. my phone has 64gb and I film a lot on it and have multiple apps causing storage to always quickly fill up. So today I eventually decided to go with the 256gb model, yes it was $549.99 but still $100 less than normal. I honestly wanted more storage, and this way there's less worry about storage, and won't have regrets not paying a little more for 4x the storage space.
Nice video!

I got the purple 256GB cellular as its only one of my iPads I take out the house, the others are Wi-Fi 64GB

Great feedback and review of this iPad.

[victorpeng]

I bought an iPad mini 6 last summer, and I only use it for youtube on my bed.

[georgewashington]

Can get the base model for $350-379 if you shop around for a sale.

[mrsmith]

Mi ipad mini 5 is a 64gb and I'm not even half way to fill it. I really just use it for media consumption so other then apple updates I'm good with 64gb

[Mrpro]

I have the same problem, wenn I bought the mini. Went with 64gb option and I should never have done that.at time I thought it was way too expensive for the 256gb option, but I do regret that now.

[graver]

Everyone who wants a small tablet is lucky. The only option for them is the mini. People who want a regular sized tablet have to choose between the iPad 9, iPad 10, iPad Air and iPad Pro 11 inch. All of the tablets except the Pro start at 64gb and the second option is 256gb. Its so annoying and inconvenient for customers and I just do not understand why Apple even has 64gb in any of its Apple products.

if i can muster up the money, i’m thinking about buying this for college since im majoring in digital art

[robkennedy]

I bought a 256gb used iPad mini. If I love it, I'll trade it in for a iPad mini 7 with LTE and at least 256gb as well.
