Steve Troughton-Smith‘Who buys iPad mini?’
People upgrading from the fourth gen mini, that’s for sure
Dean@stroughtonsmith I have a 4th gen sitting somewhere at home. But the size factor does not fits me anymore.
Remember that the gen 4 was already a big bump at the time. Those numbers are just 🤯

Jasper Vinkenvleugel@stroughtonsmith that’s quite something. Though for the price (and the fact that I basically only use it as a YouTube machine) I’ll stick to my 5th gen for a while longer.
Karl Baron@stroughtonsmith My kids are still using a 2nd gen mini
Jonny@stroughtonsmith I’ve upgraded from a launch day iPad Pro 10.5, still getting used to the size but performance is 3x across the board

@robbiemu yes, but the iPad mini 4 doesn't benchmark like it did back in 2016. I'm comparing like for like
@stroughtonsmith all processors will show drift, geek bench doesn’t make values comparable between major releases. But no one uses gkb 4 any more, it’s better to use gkb6 I think since these numbers are comparable to the results people are used to seeing the past couple of years, which is why I provided them
@robbiemu I took my own GB6 benchmarks, just didn't share them
@stroughtonsmith hold on Steve. I didn’t think you did a bad job. I was just adding to the conversation details that were not shared, especially because the numbers you presented are easily confusing in 2024. But anyone who looks at all carefully will see that you were posting geekbench 4 numbers; you didn’t do anything wrong. :)
