Things we can learn from the video

- 0:29The redesign combines a thinner body, eSIM support and an Acoustic Display in place of external speaker grilles.
- 1:39Canoopsy praises the OLED panel's brightness and lack of jelly scrolling, but questions its 60Hz limit.
- 3:09Apple Pencil Pro and USB-C Pencil work with the mini, but older magnetic cases do not fit.
- 4:43Photoshop, Shapr3D, Procreate and split-screen multitasking form the A20 Pro performance tests.
- 7:27The value verdict weighs a separate iPhone-and-mini combination against an iPhone Duo.
An OLED screen makes a strong first impression, but Canoopsy wants it to move a little more smoothly. In "this is the best iPad", his affection for Apple's smallest tablet comes with a specific reservation: the display remains at 60Hz.
The review is the most watched of his three uploads this week, reaching roughly 83,000 views, and it is also drawing the most daily attention across his channel. He compares the old and new models' audio, demonstrates Pencil support and puts Photoshop, Shapr3D and Procreate to work. The portability appeals; the price makes his verdict more complicated, especially when he considers buying a separate phone and tablet rather than an iPhone Duo.
Viewers are picking up that same tension. Refresh rate is a recurring sticking point in the comments, while others weigh the inconvenience of carrying two devices against having a dedicated small tablet. Some discuss keeping their existing mini rather than upgrading. It is a more practical conversation than the title's confident verdict might suggest.
The companion upload, "the new 2026 iPad Mini is weird", condenses that affection-and-reservations argument. Then "china made the most overkill phone" changes the mood entirely: Canoopsy introduces the Redmagic 12 Pro, a gaming-focused phone with liquid cooling, a fan and RGB lighting.
The channel's subscribers held steady at 310,000 over the week, while daily views are running well below their usual level. Its weekly audience was close to Psivewri's; nearby gadget channels Joe Cirillo and JSL Review drew substantially larger weekly totals. For Canoopsy, the small tablet, rather than the extravagantly equipped gaming phone, remains the week's main attraction.

What viewers say
For me personally, the combo iPhone 18 Pro max with this iPad mini is way better than the Duo, they're both more powerful and capable, the only downside is that you have to carry 2 devices
@rLucasArtsSee it on YouTubeJust bought the iPad Mini 7 a month ago on the Apple refurbished store for $709 CAD. I'm good for a while.
@ltylrSee it on YouTubeAn iPad Mini (especially cellular) is the ultimate Android companion. I refuse to drop my Pixel just for iMessage chats or FaceTime, and the Mini gives me that iOS bridge plus a killer portable streaming screen that fits right in my sling bag.
