    Incredible New Ipad Mini 6

    Incredible product... super fast, new IPO 15 incredible. Multitask capability, Works great with Office products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Super long battery life - so long that I forgot for a few days and then realized had low battery (after several days of use)... Using Mini 5 case and keyboard (had to make some minor modifications) since case with keyboards are still not so good. When I get the same brand case and keyboard, it will be super perfect. Love touch signin as well. One drawback (all apple products) wish there was a file manager similar to Windows explorer so that you see all your files. Alight improvement with the recent version of Files... but its Apple.

    The iPad Mini is a compact powerhouse. With its 7.9-inch Retina display, it offers stunning visuals and crisp text. The A-series chip ensures smooth performance for multitasking and gaming. Its portability makes it perfect for on-the-go use, while the Apple Pencil support enhances creativity. However, the battery life could be longer. Overall, the iPad Mini is a top-notch device for productivity and entertainment on the move.

    Excellent iPad Mini 6th Gen

    I have used many iPads over the years, everything from the introductory iPads to the iPad Pro models. The iPad mini has to be one of the most universal iPads I have used to date. The portability and the power it has makes it a very productive iPad for me. The screen size makes it a little harder to multitask on but its a fair tradeoff for the ease of traveling with it and packing it around. I haven’t noticed the jelly scrolling issue that some people have reported. Battery life is good for the size of the mini. I really like that it’s compatible with the apple pencil 2. It comes in handy for selecting things on the smaller screen. Not a necessity though. I highly recommend getting the 256 gb memory version. 64 gb base memory is just not enough these days. The only drawback that I see is that connecting to an external monitor does not display in full screen leaving the black bars on the sides, but again not too big of a deal. Usb c charging is great and transfer speeds are not Thunderbolt speeds but it’s manageable. Overall a great iPad. Highly recommend it, especially if you find it on sale and lately it’s been on sale frequently.

    Admittedly, I am an Android girl, but I do love my iPad. I like that it's smaller for my hand, yet it's still pretty powerful. I have Apple Arcade and play a lot of games on it; it runs very smoothly. I've had it for over a year, and the battery life is still great on it, and it still runs smoothly. 10/10 recommend

    First of all, I am not an Apple person. I bought the Mini and previously an iPad Pro to perhaps assist me in my practice as an architect. The iPad Pro is ok, but the Mini is really incredible. Apple aced it with this one, and it is a pleasure to use. Perfect size, fast, and intuitive. I am impressed. I have several tablets and this one is the best.

    I really like the mini ipads. To me they are the perfect size. With that said I've owned the ipad mini 2, ipad mini 4, and recently ipad mini 6. I tend to skip some generations as I don't feel the need to upgrade all the time. The previous models were work horses and provided me many hours of entertainment in games and videos. This ipad 6 is similar. I really love the size, and the weight of the product. The ipad mini 4 had the front bottom circular button, and the on/off switch on the top right hand corner of this device is reminiscent of that. I do like the touch ID. It's an awesome addition and easy to use. What I do not care for is the volume button on the top left hand corner. I did prefer the old location of it on the left hand side of the ipad. But I do understand that the apple pencil probably needed the left side to be empty. What I don't appreciate is the "value" put on this product. When I purchased the Ipad Mini 4, it was around the 400 range. Now this device is 650. The data did double from 128gb to 256gb, but still, 256gb is awful knowing that we can get 256gb micro sd cards for like 20 bucks. I wouldn't have minded the price tag IF the device worked well and the quality was good, but it doesn't and it isn't. There are a few issues with both software and build quality. 1. The jelly scroll everyone talks about, while not a huge issue, I don't think it should be that noticeable on this device. I compared both the ipad mini 4 and this ipad mini 6 side by side, and it was significantly worse on the ipad mini 6. 2. When I have the screen off and press on the screen, there's a screen pressure distortion that is quite noticeable. I had actually purchased two ipad mini 6 and the other one I had to return because the screen distortion spots were really bad. they showed up with the slightest pressure. 3. I don't know if anyone even uses the "today" column anymore. It's the column that comes up when you left swipe the home page. You can put a bunch of apps on it. But it is glitchy. I called Apple and tried to figure out why it's glitching and how to fix it but honestly they said the "today" column should've been removed and was a remnant of an older iOS when we couldn't use widgets on the home screen. Which makes sense to me, it does seem sort of redundant with the ability to put widgets on the home screen. Yet... this "feature" is still there last I checked with iOS 15.6.1. 4. As I used this device more, I noticed sometimes when I had the keyboard sound on, the keyboard sound would be extremely loud and then soften as I type more with it. At first I thought it was me, and I had left the sound on extremely loud, but no. It wasn't me. It was either the sound board malfunctioning or the software being weird. I do really like the ipad mini 6 for, size, portability, ease of use. The build quality has taken a hit though, I'm not sure if it's due to covid and supply shortages or what. But Apple needs to keep up its game and not let quality slip. I put I recommend this item, but only because of the positives I stated.

    The ipad mini is the perfect ipad for on the go! i have an ipad pro and at times it’s a bit too big when i’m in the car or at school, so i’m sure this ipad mini will be the best option for me. i also got the 256 to store more pictures when i’m on vacation or at events, it’s smaller size makes it less awkward to snap pics. the apple pencil also makes it easier to sign documents and note take. overall, 10/10 recommend.

    I love the iPad mini, and this is my third one. I upgraded to the extra memory as the apps I use take up quite a lot of space. The screen is slightly larger than the previous model and the camera is considerably better. I find the full sized iPads cumbersome. This can easily fit in my purse. I enjoy having a screen larger than a phone. The iPad mini 6 is perfect for me, and I definitely recommend it.

    I’ve owned numerous iPads over the years and most recently the IPad 11 Pro (1st gen). All were great but I wanted to downsize for portability/weight while traveling for work. I already have to carry a work laptop and was using my iPhone for media purposes. The iPad Mini 6 meets my needs perfectly. Small and lightweight but does all my day-to-day needs perfectly.

    Apple mini ipad took a little while to get used to since it is a little different than the previous iPads that I had . 5here is no “ home button “ . You just swipe up to get rid of the app you are in and to use your finger print to open is no longer a home button on the right of the pad but a slim side button ( I had to purchase a new case so that I could get to that button). Overall I am pleased with the iPad for its quick response and the usual Apple quality. I do have a 10 inch iPad but love the portability of the mini when I travel. I did purchase headphones since this upgrade doesn’t use the lightning type power cords so there’s that but all their new products now use a USB-C type cord so when I trade up for a new phone this cord will be compatible.

    This is my 2nd iPad mini and i find it to be the perfect size and weight. I find the Touch ID works better for me than button. The camera takes excellent pictures and so far the battery life has been adequate. I would highly recommend getting AppleCare and a good cover. This is my 4th iPad and 2nd mini and although my favorite, I did have to replace within 2 weeks due to hairline crack.

    This maybe the best ipad apple has ever made! I have been using apple ipad’s since the first generation back in 2010 and starting using ipad pro’s when they were released. However I wanted something smaller. So I tried the 8.3 inch ipad mini 6 and was blown away with how great it is. I use it more than my 11 inch ipad pro. The size is easy to hold in one hand. It is light and pretty much fits in any bag. Works great with my apple pencil. I didnt think I would like the screen size for watching shows but it is my go to now.

    My first tablet. I was torn between this and the 10.2”. This is fast and powerful, probably a great size for those with smaller phones. Edge-to-edge screen makes the screen size just a bit smaller than the 10.2” (because that one isn’t edge-to-edge). Easy to slip into a larger purse. Quick downloads and great storage. This is too small for reading sheet music, though.

    I normally have my iPad mini with me when I'm in the office, on a trip and anytime I might need it outside the house. Of course I have an iPhone, but for everybody who is (like me) a 'best ager', it's simply easier to have the bigger screen. The latest iPad mini has a performance that is comparable to the iPhone 13 Pro, so that's enough processor power to do everything on the web, in your favorite apps or even play some games, if you want. Also, it supports the Apple Pencil, which is a great chance if you want to write a diary and don't like a keyboard. Yes - it comes with a high price tag, but since you can take it everywhere and everyday, this should level the cost somehow.
