Nothing much to say. This beloved small and mighty beauty is now on sale but not sure for how long. Cheaper than AOC. Price match at TGG and use the gift cards to bring it even lower.
Enjoy

For anyone who does Qantas shopping GG offers 2pts per dollar spent (with the QFF Points tracker plugin) which the other retailers dont in addition to the targeted spend offer which i never recieved this time
Would $30 target offer work for the mini?
Folio cases can be had for $14 bucks on amazon too which is a great deal for $700 in total (https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09HQ2G32C)
Is this latest ipad mini model ?
Yes came out last year. Newer chip than the 499$ ipad 11" going around on sales
With 8gb ram
Good price and great companion device. Got it a few months back and use it almost everyday. If you can getting cellular makes this a lot more practical.
What do you use it for. Keen to purchase but not sure how to implement daily useage
I believe this supports Apple Intelligence too.
Awesome deal specially if combined with $30 TGG voucher and gift cards.Yes it does , but I thought the consensus was it’s half baked at best atm
If only the screen was 120hz …..
Yea, I am just like you too, 99% swiping and scrolling and 1% actually reading / watching.
Work there is a samsung tablet in this size.
the only decent alternative is probably a lenovo legion tab 3
Au models are 999…. if you import its about 650 - 750
Yeah, that was in my wishlist, but prefer samsung as I can receive calls when in wifi network and spen. But I think they will never instead they will release unwanted A series models
Love my iPad mini 6 (previous gen) - I literally sold my pimped out iPad Pro 12.9 with magic keyboard for it and I don’t regret it one bit.
Best form factor by far.
I have 12.9 m1 ipad pro which I love but sometimes it feels too big to carry around . Was wondering to get this ipad mini as well . Can you share your experience? Hows it to watch Netflix or youtube compared to lets say iphone pro max is the screen size fine for mini or is it too small
As someone with a pro 2021 11 inch purchased as a laptop replacement , what made you move over? I have the authentic Magic Keyboard too but it’s such a half baked product design wise imo, ditched it in 2 weeks.
iPadOS was so frustrating to use and I found myself using my Mac for real work.
Then I realised I was using my $3k iPad Pro setup to watch Netflix and YouTube but only at a desk/table - which I’m like why not use my MacBook again since it’s bigger and better….
iPad mini I can use in bed without injuring myself if it drops on my face.
Haha yeah fair enough
I felt the same way (windows laptop though) - just easier for work personally.
Most stores are this price so not really a deal
I bought this last christmas and paired it with a keyboard case, and while I like it generally, I don't see the usefulness of the hyped Apple Intelligence
Has Apple fix the screen issue on this? The infamous jelly scrolling?
Apparently wiggles less but still there
The fact these cost more than a regular ipad is absurd.
Thanks OP!
I was looking at this (Mini A17) or an Apple iPad 11" (A16) Wi-Fi 128GB. I bought a apple pencil before the iPad 11" launched and found out I couldn't use a apple pencil pro. So I've been hanging out for a Mini price drop.
If you need to buy a case or a screen protector or any accessories for the iPad mini, have a check on tgg eBay or Amazon for good deals.
Just check if iPad mini 6 Gen(2021) accessories are compatible with iPad mini 2024 (A17 Pro).Some specs from gsmarena:
iPad mini 6 Gen (2021)
https://m.gsmarena.com/apple_ipad_mini_(2021)-11105.phpiPad mini 2024 (A17 Pro)
https://m.gsmarena.com/apple_ipad_mini_(2024)-ampp-13437.phpcan anyone recommend which one to get between this vs iPad 11 A16. Main usage would be daily web browsing, a lot of note taking, watching Youtube and light game playing. Should I get this one for a better screen or is it not noticeable?
Mini is good size if you like the portable of a phone but find the phone screen can be too small for text reading, note taking or just want to enjoying watching some videos on a bigger screen than the phone.
Mini is a nice size for walking around as well as lying in bed to use (watching youtube, gaming)
The larger ipad is more suitable for using on a desk or while sitting up or when you need bigger screen for work or video watching
but is not as good to to move around with and feels heavy on your chest to use while lying down compared to the mini.Should I get this one for a better screen or is it not noticeable?
The screen will be very similar and eventually you will forget and it will not be as noticeable, ie you get use to whatever screen you got.
the more important question is
do you like to move around in your house with your phone alot but want a bigger screen than your phone?
do you like using it in bed?I used Kindle for ebook reading before selling it last month, so I would probably need something similar size. Thanks for the comparison, think I am going with mini.
No worries..
I find that I use my phone the most cos it is portable (quick to grab, portable and light)
but the screen can feel small and harder to read text (web browsing).I also got bigger ipad but I don't use it that much / rarely compared to the phone.
My mini is old and can't get updated youtube app etc
If I got a more updated mini,
I would use it more than my phone at home…
