Finally managed to touch and feel the new iPad Mini. The size and weight is amazing for portability but in terms of the screen size and the slow movement of the screen, I find it tough to move away from my 11" iPad Pro.

QUOTE(d@odao @ Oct 15 2021, 10:17 PM) Don’t worry, u won’t move away from the pro. Yeah, I was thinking of having both! I guess the ideal case would be a pairing of the Mini and the 12.9" Pro hahahaha! Just get the mini too. Trust me. U want it. I know. We in the same shoe. Buy! Buy! Buy! QUOTE(dikae @ Oct 15 2021, 10:38 PM) Have to agree with this, that day I was testing it side by side with the iPad Pro, the scrolling does feel choppy on the mini 6, but if you don’t compare them then you won’t feel it as much.. I didn't realise the chopiness but something felt off |

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 16 2021, 09:42 AM) This exactly. Yes I agree, I used to pair the iPad with my iPhone but having the cellular function itself is so so convenient! I also enjoyed using the iPad's cellular slot especially overseas where I used the overseas sim card for data as well.Mini goes everywhere, the on desk its either a laptop or a computer, or even the larger Pro 12.9 The only perk of having an iPad over a laptop when going out is the Cellular function, this is a ‘must-have’ for me. |

QUOTE(Tealifos @ Nov 10 2021, 01:06 AM) Hi If you like the size of the iPad Mini, then the latest iPad Mini is a no brainer. Definitely one of the better more portable iPads about. I have 2 iPad Mini's at home and the size is perfect for portability and reading.I just turn on my iPad mini 2 after few years It still works fine but noticebly slow Was wondering if iPad mini 6 might be a good upgrade Currently using iPad 5th gen With so many iPad models now is getting more confuse N all the price not tht far I like mini size but maybe top up a bit can get better iPad |

QUOTE(hazeri80 @ Dec 23 2021, 09:28 PM) Ive been using ipad mini for 2 weeks.. this is my first apple product, before this i used samsung galaxy tab.. my complaints on this product are.. I used to use Notability but I have since reverted back to the Apple Notes app which is sufficient for me for my note taking. Have you tried using it, also it is free as well. 1.. Ipad and apple pencil are expensive.. at least if u buy expensive product please preinstall a good note taking app..if download from store everything need to purchase.. before this, on samsung, there is samsung notes, which is very good apps for note taking and it is FREE.. please suggest me a free good note taking apps.. now i use notability, free but limited function.. tq .. ok found one, free note taking app.. collanote.. u should try it 2. Not full screen apps.. i heard apple product is excellent esp ipad line.. but till now, nearly 4 months after release, some apps still not in full screen.. some blame it on dev.. but it is very inconvenient to use app not full screen.. such as, instagram, shoppe, mudah and many more.. Other than that, ok je 😎😎, loved the screen and the size Instagram, Shopee and Mudah are all iPhone optimised apps. They weren't built for iPad OS hence it doesn't come as full screen. You can enlarge them but until they develop iPad specific applications, that's the downside of it. |

Hey iPad Mini users, do you all take a lot of notes on your iPad Mini? If you do, especially those coming from a larger screen iPad, do you all face any issues with running out of space?

QUOTE(un_id @ Jan 12 2022, 12:55 PM) Yes, and i came from ipad pro.. no problem taking note with this screen size, in fact to me feel more convenient Thanks for the feedback! I was so close to buying it at the shop but instead purchased a writing screen for my iPad Pro instead to test out. For now since most of my work is relatively remote I am ok with the iPad Pro size but once I get back to the office and travel starts again, I will definitely get the iPad Mini. |

QUOTE(un_id @ Jan 13 2022, 12:36 PM) Yes.. and can’t say this pirated, its just another product accessory, apple already allowed third party to make pencil alternative for ipad I wished I had known about this before purchasing my Apple Pencil 2 haha. Somemore this is my second one after I lost one at work 3-4 years ago hahaBut my point was its just <90 vs 500+ hence i’m happy with the purchase.. but to compare apple pencil with bmw analogy LOL 500+ is just peanut don’t try to make it sounds like something luxury, there is no luxury on apple pencil 😄 |

Quick question here, any of you use the Apple pencil with the iPad Mini? Coming from an iPad Pro with a fast refresh screen, I noticed then when I was writing on Notes at Machines yesterday, there was a significant lag. Just wondering whether it could be the demo unit that was on display or anyone has felt that as well? Especially those who came from the iPad Pro series. My main aim for the Mini was for writing notes, reading and pure portability.

QUOTE(dikae @ Jan 24 2022, 10:40 AM) I have both, the mini 6 and 11 m1.... there are some lags on the mini 6 if you compare it side by side with the pro, mainly from the chipset/ram and most significantly is the 120hz refresh rate... the mini 6 is actually not bad until you compare it with the m1...notes etc will not be that significant actually, if you compare it with games or other higher performance apps then you will see it more obvious...took me a while to adjust at the beginning but after a while I'm ok with the mini 6 now... but definitely needs time.. QUOTE(un_id @ Jan 24 2022, 11:40 AM) i didn't notice any lag when writing using pencil on ipad mini 6.. i also came from ipad pro 11.. Thanks guys, appreciate it. I am not too worried about the power/performance as I normally use my iPads mostly for productivity and if for leisure, mostly media. I do write a lot of notes with my iPad now and have gotten used to the smooth 120Hz screen hence I am worried about just the writing lag. But it is something I probably can get used tooverall performance yeah its not as fast as the ipad pro. but so far it didn't give any headache for daily usage, i don't have any complaint for it. imo its decent for the spec, form factor and price frostier liked this post

Recently purchased a second hand iPad Mini 6 for use during business travels. First time travelling with it and I absolutely love it for its small footprint, lightweightness compared to me normally bringing my iPad Pro 2018 instead.
