I just got the iPad Mini 7 delivered and in this video I break down what’s actually different vs the iPad Mini 6—and whether it’s worth spending your money if you already own the last one. For me, the Mini has always been about form factor first: it’s insanely portable, feels more like a larger phone than an iPad, and it’s still my favourite iPad to carry around for scripting, planning shots, and staying on top of my calendar. I also go through the physical design, colours (that frosted blue looks so good), speakers, USB‑C, and the Touch ID power button—although I’ll be honest, I would’ve loved to see Face ID. The biggest changes are the base storage and performance. You now get 128GB and 8GB RAM, plus faster transfer speeds (up to 10GB/s), which genuinely comes in clutch if you’re moving files to an SSD. The A17 Pro chip makes it a proper little powerhouse for gaming and even quick edits in CapCut, and the battery surprised me during a long filming day. But I also call out my main frustrations: thick bezels, 60Hz, and no OLED—because if Apple gave this thing a 120Hz OLED panel, it would be insane. My takeaway: if it’s your first iPad Mini, the Mini 7 is absolutely worth it at $499. If you already have the iPad Mini 6, there’s not much reason to upgrade unless you really value the extra storage, speed, and future Apple Intelligence features.
