The Best iPad Mini Ever Made
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.The newest iPad Mini is the best one. It is powered through a USB-C charge cord and connection, which is faster and better than the previous lightning connector. I highly recommend using a case with any iPad because accidental drops are inevitable, but this iPad is fast, powerful and holds all of my apps with ease. Get a case at the time of the purchase and take it everywhere you go with ease!

IPad mini 6th generation
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I broke my ankle and leg I February and have been laid up since. I grabbed my older iPad and it was extremely slow and unfortunately outdated. Went to Best Buy and got the iPad mini the same day. I used my Best Buy credit card and have interest free for 18 months. I have been getting plenty of use, it’s great and I’m extremely happy with the purchase. It’s just a larger iPhone. Oh yeah and I started to listen to my music the other day and was listening to Eminem. The lyrics came up throughout the songs. This feature is new to me and I think it’s great.

Great upgrade from an iPad mini 5
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Great upgrade from an iPad mini 5. I love the size of the iPad mini, going full screen without a home button makes the upgrade worth it. The size of the iPad mini makes it great for one hand use, and the updated front camera makes FaceTime calls with centerstage fun.Easy recommendation to anyone!

Love my mini iPad!!!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Didn’t think I’d get so much use outta this. Whenever my iPhone dies I just charge it and grab my iPad mini and i freakin’ love this thing! The size is perfect!!! Comes in handy for the kids too for long road trips. I have no idea how I ever lived without one lol Best Buy was great at sending me a replacement when the first one they sent had a scratch in the camera. They didn’t hesitate and sent me another one… no biggie!

Very happy - Faster than a speeding bullet
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I purchased the new iPad mini to replace my wife's 2nd generation iPad. The new mini actually has n=been clocked at 6 times faster than her older model for her games. I also added apple pen and I know that she will be thrilled with it. I ordered it delivered to avoid fighting the crowd in the stores and was very pleased with the fast delivery.

iPad mini 6 extended-use review – There's no substitute for portability [Video]I've been using Apple's dramatically redesigned iPad mini for about two months now, and my biggest takeaway is that it's a great device for reading and note taking. But as you'll see in my iPad mini 6 extended-use review, it's not without

Q: QuestionWill the iPad mini 6 work with accessories that complimented the iPad mini 5? Apple Pencil 1? Apple Keyboard? If not the jump to a faster processor and slightly bigger screen will be much more expensive than it would seem initially.
Asked by MiketheD.
- A:Answer I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and guess that if the accessary is wired, then it probably won't work with this MINI because it appears they changed the port to a "C" from the "lightening" port of previous MINI's. Which means of course, none of the multitude of chargers I have will work. Unless they have a dongle -- another fidget to hang on to or lose. But, if your accessary is wireless, I don't know. They do say that the latest Apple Pencil, 2, is compatible, but, nothing in this description about previous pencils.

Q: Questionwhat is difference between pencils 1 & 2?
Asked by Anonymous.
This question was asked about the related product: Apple - iPad mini (Latest Model) with Wi-Fi - 256GB - Space Gray
- A:Answer The differences between the 1st and 2nd generation Apple Pencils are: -price -features -ways of charging -design The first gen Apple pencil is very round and rather slippery. It'll just roll off somewhere. Might want to put like a skin or a rubber cover on it so it doesn't slide. It also uses the extremely akward and poorly design lighting connector top that plugs in either in the IPad or using the included adapter from the box. It also has a cap to cover the top. The 1st gen Apple pencil is only compatible with IPads that have the classic design (large black or white bexels with touch ID home button) and lighnting port such as the IPad Generation series or the older 5th gen IPad mini. The cost of the 1st gen pencil is under a $100. The second gen Apple Pencil is the updated pencil that connects via magnets on the righhand side of the current (almost) all screen design IPads.These IPads are IPad Pro 2018- current year, IPad Air 4th gen and the new IPad Mini 6th gen. The pencil charges when connected on the side of the ipad via magnets and has features where you can double tap the squared off side to either erase or go back to previous tool. The pencil has a matte feel and due to having a squared off design on one side, it doesn't roll off (or at least not as easy.) The Apple Pencil 2nd Gen is $129.99. There is a lot more features available, but those are the main highlighted ones.

Q: Questionhow often does this need to be updated 6 years?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Im not sure I understand your question. Normally apple offers updates for their products for a 5 year period after being released. This iPad will receive updates from now until 5 years from now. It does not need to be updated every time an update comes out but it is highly recommended.
