so have anyone figured out which one's a better buy between the ipad mini 6 vs ipad air 4? for the 300 bucks though, bigger screen and battery, but running on A14 compare to A15 on the mini 6..smile.gif

after watching all the reviews I'm still wondering if I should get the air...

It's gonna be mainly a media consumption device for me but I like the idea of using it on the bed or on the toilet lol
*
yeap it looks like the air 4 has more benefits than mini, they are 100% the same besides much bigger screen space and a 1 year older chip A14...usability wise I think the ipad air wins... but again still depends on what you need it for... if you're going for mobility then the mini should be the way to go..

QUOTE(untitled_mc @ Sep 23 2021, 09:59 AM)
im thinking that the ipad mini can be used as a "replacement" device at home to browse, social media, youtube, whatsapp etc at home instead of using the iphone at all times... does that sound reasonable? haha
*
yeap i've been doing that on my ipad pro actually... slowly realizing maybe i dont need phone anymore... besides making calls and whatsapp biggrin.gif

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 23 2021, 10:19 AM)
I'm only going to use it for entertainment and after office hours conference calls. iPhone screen can be small for such activities.
*
also the sad fact that iphone 12 this year has really really bad battery health which refrain myself from doing any sort of social media/streaming stuffs....

If you have the iPad Pro already there's no benefits of having this. Unless of course if you have the extra money and like the form factor.

QUOTE(Savor_Savvy @ Sep 25 2021, 10:19 AM)
Plan to downgrade to this due to its form factor.
*
The mini size tablet could be used for so many occasions that the bigger iPad pros suffer...example portrait mode gaming like clash royale..safari surfing like LYN..notes taking etc...can still be done in landscape but would be much better in portrait...imagine playing portrait mode games on a 12.9” with folio casings sweat.gif though gaming on 120hz would be much better than 60hz on mini 6..biggrin.gif

Is this something to be alarmed with or is it a normal thing?

Not normal but I foresee an update would fix it...

Is the iPad mini screen size adequate to view music sheets on?
*
Should be good enough for music sheets, my friend’s been using her mini 5 for piano classes..

Got mine already woo hoo! Updating it to iOS 15.

Space grey for the win!! Looks so cool.
By the way, while I was setting up, I notice that iPad mini 6 gets warm at the side. I never experience this with iPad Air 4.

I’m guessing this is because they need to squeeze everything into one tiny device. For those who have cases and might not be able to notice the heat, might need to take note otherwise your device might be overheating without knowing. , what’s with our weather and all.
*
space grey is always nice and classic, though i'll go for starlight if i ever decide to grab one.... coz I've been using space grey on my current and past ipads.. need a change in colour biggrin.gif

What are the apps you guys recommend for notes taking? Besides notability. Can be paid apps but not so expensive la. sweat.gif Also any alternative for Procreate? I Googled and found a few but if there is any hands-on experience can share will be great. I am just a newbie, just wanna try try only.

Can try Good Notes 5 or Noteshelf, they are quite good and app cost about rm30++...

Currently some apps not compatible with this new mini form factor.
Maybe later there is a fix from apple or developer..

Very soon app devs will update apps for new iPad mini..same thing happened during iPhone X era...now would be much easier though since it’s not something entirely new to them

hey guys, when we purchased online, do they email us the invoice or only when the order has finished processed or they have a physical invoice copy that comes with the shipment?

They will only email you the invoice once the item is being shipped out

I think they underestimate the demand for it kot. Like yesterday morning Sengheng offer cellular 256 only for gray color, but in just an hour sold out edi.

Yang banyak is cellular 64 or 256 wifi lol.

yesterday evening around 6+pm I went to switch paradigm they have many 64/256 cellular available in gray/purple/starlight..... not sure about now smile.gif

Anyway, most likely I will get mine today. Like finally. doh.gif
