- A: AnswerThis is the 6th generation Mini
Answered by TomHal
- A: AnswerThe system takes from 10-13GBs depending on how many of the pre-installed apps you keep on the device. That leaves you with around 50 GB of free storage
Answered by Frank
- A: AnswerYes, I see it in significant effect. It's not just scrolling either, it messes with anything flowing through that region of the screen, including animations. A trained eyes will see 'squash and stretch' when in landscape too. Portrait scrolling is largely where it can make people nauseous. If a software update doesn't show up very shortly, it's likely a true hardware issue, so I'd then return this and waiting until I have confidence they've fixed the next batch. I've confirmed this to exist on around 10 different new iPads minis, most demo units, as well as mine. Too bad, it's exactly the device I've been waiting for, otherwise. - I'd recommend holding off on buying for a bit.

Q: QuestionCan we still use the old charging cables or do we need new ones?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThis new model of iPad mini uses USB-C for charging. So, if your previous iPad or any other mobile Apple device used the Lightning connector, that would be a no. However, the box comes with the charging cable and the power brick, which means that you should not worry about that.Answered by Diego
Q: QuestionIs this bluetooth capable? Does it have a camera?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes, it does have Bluetooth. You should be able to connect to wireless earphones, headphones, speakers, and even keyboards. It also has two cameras, one in the front and the other on the back. They have a new feature called Center Stage where the camera tracks the people on frame and focuses on a really intuitive way.Answered by Diego

Amazing little gadget! Niche user base
I absolutely LOVE this iPad! I only paid $359+ tax! I got it when the new iPad Air came out in September. It is now mid-October, so I have been using & loving the device for about 6 weeks! When I purchased the device, it was part of a sale on the mini for $399 from $499. I then got an additional $40 off because I chose the “renewed” version, for the total price of $359! It came in the exact same apple box with all components. The iPad is perfect! No scratches, easy to hold, fast, light, and portable. I love that it use USB-C like the iPad Pros and most other devices these days. I would not pay $499 (the typical asking price) for this product. For $399 or less, it is a fantastic deal! It is definitely a niche product for people who want a smaller device. I love it for streaming, email, reading, and general internet browsing. (TIP! Whenever new apple products come out or if there is a holiday sale, the prices of their products drop DRAMATICALLY! I only buy iPads/laptops on sale. These sales are extremely consistent and predictable.) I used to have the iPad mini 4, but by 2022 it was too slow to do any meaningful browsing. I much prefer browsing on my iPad mini 6 vs. my iPhone 13 or my MacBook Air. It is light, fits my hands well, is enough screen to stream and read, and the browsing is FAST! I highly recommend this device to anyone looking for an additional iPad for recreational purposes. Something to note is that the finger scanner button is on the top right of the device and the volume buttons are on the top left of the device. I will note that I also have a regular ipad 9th generation that I use with a folio keyboard case that was provided by the school I work at. I teach special education. I could not do any lesson planning or “work” on my iPad mini. I consider my mini strictly a recreational device. Someone with larger hands or who prefer a larger screen may prefer the cheaper 9th generation iPad which starts at $329 as their daily device (eg. My dad), or if you need something faster and lighter with more technological features, the new iPad Air which starts at $699, might be for you (eg. Student, software engineer, trader, architect). I will also note that I am impressed with how well the regular ipad 9th generation has held up with rigorous daily use for my work. Although the $329 price is appealing, the ipad 9th generation is wayyyy too large and heavy for me to use as a personal device! I use it strictly for work- eg. lesson planning and taking data. I am always excited to go home and do my personal browsing on my adorable iPad mini 6 :) I have the purple color which comes out as a bit more of a grey, as you can see in the pics.

The Perfect I-Pad
This IPad has the perfect specs! It has an A15 chipset with 6 cores for cpu & 5 for gpu, & it has 4 GBS of ram. The screen is 500 nits has hdr, true tone and supports apple pencil 1 & 2. The cameras are both 12MP front and back! It even has a flash & center stage. There are 4 speakers & it’s louder than the iPad 10th generation. The IPad Mini 6 uses USBC charging, & the battery last a solid 10 hours! My personal favorites about this IPad are the screen size, portability, and ease of use. This iPad should be supported for quite sometime as it has the same chipset as the 2022 Iphone 14s. The iPad Mini 6 is really fast, and using it for work, education, streaming, music is the perfect device! I like that I can disconnect from my phone and just use my ipad mini for calls, facetime and if a moment pops up I can still capture great photos! People complain 64GBS is not enough, get icloud storage! My ipad mini has alot on it, but not everything is saved! If your debating what ipad to get right now, I would choose the mini 6 over the ipad 9 anyday! Yes it cost more, but you are getting so much more for your money! Plus the added upgrades, features, & longevity! I hope my review helps someone! You can also edit photos built in! Just use your apple pencil!

The Great Little Tablet That Could!
OMG, I am so impressed with this tablet! I have owned many an iPad and currently have an 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 inch which I use as a "laptop replacement" for heavier tasks. Between the iPad Pro and giving my older iPads to my grandkids, I really wanted something just for myself that is more portable than the big iPad Pro. A tech reviewer on YouTube called this tablet the "middle child" and he really nailed it with that description. It's a perfect size for content consumption. It's fast, the LCD screen is very good (but don't try to compare it to the iPad Pro, they are not comparable), and the portability is a big plus. The sound is great with the additional speakers and the battery life is outstanding. The USB C is great too, it opens up a variety of uses that were previously more difficult on the older iPads. It's a mini version of the iPad Air that came out earlier this year, with a better (newer) processor. I use my tablets for reading, watching videos and surfing the internet so this iPad is perfect for that use, plus I can take it with me when I travel on vacation, instead of having to lug the larger iPad Pro along. My only regret is that I didn't purchase the 256 GB model -- I could have used the extra storage for photos. No worries, I am enjoying this tablet very much just the same.
