iPad mini 6 | Is it worth the upgrade? Should you save $$$ and get the mini 5?
The iPad mini 5 was one of my favorite devices of the last few years and now its successor is poised to also be an excelent device. It's existence doesn't make the mini 5 irrelevant though and I wanted to give some thoughts on who would benefit from an upgrade and who could save money and go with the older model. Another thing to note: this video was focused on mostly using the mini for drawing. The mini 5 and 6 are pretty close when it comes to the actual experience of sitting down to draw. When it comes to productivity, other digital art forms etc the differences become more apparent. The mini 6 has many more expansion capabilities with usb c, or at least they become easier. You could potentially connect the mini to a SSD and monitor and easily have a portable little computer for non drawing tasks which can make a difference for many people. ***Also it seems like the smart folios are only available for pre-order in most countries. It is unfortunate that a very important accessory isn't available on day one. It makes drawing, especially on the go, more diffiuclt.
