    Love my new iPad Mini version 6! This one has a great screen, the home button is at the top and can read your fingerprint. It charges using a USB-C plug so now I have the Anker 65W GN2 charger with an upgraded Thunderbolt 4 cable to use to charge my laptop, phone, and now my iPad. I’ve owned all versions of the iPad mini and this is by far the best.

    The perfect portable size for my needs. It is small enough to take backpacking and handy in my shop to photograph projects I am working on. Of course it is much faster than my first generation iPad mini. That sort of gives you an idea of the longevity I have come to expect.

    I have an IPad Pro 12.9, but wanted something smaller. I bought a mini for my parents and fell in love. It does everything that my pro does and so much lighter to hold even in a ZUGU case. The sound is not as great. I am glad I purchased this.

    Love the size and the dependability that Apple gives. Nice long battery life and easier to hold than the large iPad. I would definitely recommend.

    I purchased this so I could read with my Kindle app. I love that it is lightweight and small. I plan on traveling a lot so I also wanted the option to download movies and use other apps. This is something the Kindle could not do.

    I got this device for my Gaming and notes taking needs and it perfectly matches my expectations and needs , infact the latest chip is processing my Games much faster and the best part the pencil sticks to the device, which helps to keeping track of the pencil with out loosing it. Totally worth it if you are looking for something compact.

    Best all-around iPad, IMHO. Love the compact size. Find that I use it more than previous larger screen models due to its compact size and thus, increased portability. The Touch ID built into the power button is a nice… touch. Sorry, I’ll see myself out. Anyway, two enthusiastic ‘thumbs up’ for the iPad mini 6!

    Conviniently small tablet that is able to get the job done. Easy to carry around with you anywhere you go. Serves as a great alternative to a Macbook if you purchase a wireless keyboard. I also recommend purchasing the thin paper-like screen protector and 2nd Gen Apple pen.

    I spent a lot of time reading reviews about the ipad mini - in summary, it really is the perfect size! I am in grad school and will be traveling over winter break and did not want to lug around ny laptop - this is powerful enough to get the job done for email and research, while also fun enough to keep me entertained ln long plane rides.

    Well its an ipad mini. Her 5th gen mini was freezing up on websites etc. It was super easy to set up that she had no problem. She enjoys its speed and the screen is a little bigger. The touch id works so much better that she doesn’t have issues trying to sign in versus the old ipad. Everything is faster and better execution

    This easy to set up. I am amazed how clear and sharp photos are. Everything is brighter. It’s ease of uses was a surprise. There are so many shortcuts the mini has that my five year old tablet does not have. I would recommend the mini to anyone looking to replace their older iPad.

    I would give it 5 stars but: Pros: The build quality is amazing as all Apple products. OS is perfect too. Perfect tablet size. Very fast. I have an iPhone 13 Pro with Promotion but when I switch to the iPad mini with 60hz refresh rate I barely see any difference. Cons: My screen is not white uniform, it’s darker on one corner than on the rest of the iPad. There is an issue when scrolling in vertical mode. It looks as if the screen was moving side by side, I looked it up and it seems to be an issue with all iPad mini 6 screens. It can’t be fixed with a software update since it is a hardware issue.

    I use this to watch a lot of youtubes and animes, works great with what I need it to do! It can run games like Genshin Impact no problem. I used to have the regular iPad and even with my big hands, that felt a bit too big and bulky while chilling on the bed, so this was the perfect size for me.

    Never liked big iPads. This is perfect for what I need. Very fast and responsive. I got the 256gig so I have plenty of room for whatever I need to download. If I waned a huge screen, I’d just get a laptop. Don’t hesitate to buy. Yes, they are kind of pricey but probably better than he bigger screen options.

    The size of iPad Mini is great for reading, browsing the web, and watching YouTube videos while in bed. Have not noticed any of the jelly scrolling as reported. I can definitely see this as a good travel device as well. By the way I selected the 256GB option as I always feel 64GB is never enough for modern day computing. This is just my personal opinion though
