- A: AnswerI'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.

- A: AnswerI simply started setting up my new iPad Mini 6, and it told me to hold my old iPad near it - and it copied EVERYTHING in just a few minutes. Literally minutes! It was amazing. Every single thing was copied. Easiest transfer I ever had in my life.

Q: QuestionWhat keyboard brand is best for the IPad mini 6th generation?(7 answers)
A: AnswerThe keyboard case I choose was from HOU ultra slim wireless keyboard. The keyboard box states F22 Wings, I purchased it from Amazon. I choose this keyboard because the Mini IPad Slips between the cover and the inside back cover is magnetic. This allows the IPad to be in a horizontal or vertical position when typing. When not in use, the Ipad fits inside the case. It does not offer much protection, if dropped. My second choose was from Boriyuan, on Amazon. This case has a back cradle for the IPad and a place for a pencell. The keyboard is removable to allow both horizontal or vertical positions for the IPad. This is also highly rated and better protection, if dropped. If you do a lot of typing, Logitech is highly recommended. All other keyboard cases I looked at restrict you to a horizontal placement for the IPad.Answered by Keyboard

Q: Questionwhat is difference between pencils 1 & 2?(10 answers)
A: AnswerThe 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.Answered by AlHuff
Q: Questionhow often does this need to be updated 6 years?(7 answers)
A: AnswerIm 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.Answered by Jared

“It ain’t the size that matter”
To no surprise this product replaced my iPad mini 2 without a hick up. Integration is now smoother with my other products such as Apple TV, AirPods, iPhone and a 10 yr. old iMac. This model has usb-c which adds more possibilities such as faster charging, charge other devices like AirPods, iPhone etc. and directly connecting an SSD. Grab a wireless keyboard, mouse/trackpad and an Apple TV to setup a work station on the couch or in a hotel. The mini 6 has a more efficient use of space with a smaller footprint and yet a larger display; thanks to the deleted home button. Apple’s laminated display is brighter and crisper despite having the same ppi as my old iPad mini. This is my most used device, for perspective about two to three times as much use as my iPhone. I waited a year to write a review in order to see how it held up to multiple hours of use daily; so far the battery and speed are the same as day one. Most full size iPad owners handle my mini and say “Wow, I might sell my iPad get one of these lil things.” Photo -top iPad mini 2 no case -bottom iPad mini 6 with otterbox defender case

Perfect size, beautiful color
The purple is really pretty and the size/weight are perfect. I was looking for a tablet to replace my first gen iPad Air (!!) and wanted something small and light. This fit the bill + it was on sale at Best Buy! I ordered it online and it was immediately available for pickup in a locker the next morning. My only complaint about the locker is they’re not labeled on the outside. The sound when a locker unlocks is faint and I had to guess which locker opened. Unfortunately the last few customers did not close their lockers so there were multiple open. I went through two before I figured out the numbering system to find my locker. The iPad mini is perfect for streaming my shows and small enough to take everywhere with me. Fits in most purses or bags. Apple users, this mini does require the new usb-c cord, but it comes with one (+plug) in the box.

First Ipad!
I love this tablet so much. It's small, easy to carry and it's powerful enough for the mobile games I like to play. Delivery was so quick that it ended up at my doorstep early in the morning when I had just ordered it the night before.
