    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.

    This iPad replaced an older iPad Pro. I was a little unsure if the smaller screen would work for me, but I was pleasantly surprised. The size is such an advantage for portability. I use it so much more than the larger iPad. It’s great for quick checks of the news, looking at photos, and especially reading books. I love it and would definitely buy it again.

    Best Mini Tablet. I carry this tablet with me everywhere I go. It’s so light with a lot of power. My second gen pencil does so much. I use it for adobe, GoodNotes for school, and everyday life tasks. I’ve had iPads since the first iPad mini and they did not disappoint. I have the pink with max Gigs.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent device! I used it for before and after facial photos for my spa. You could see each skin blemish dissappear after skin treatments with the camera and the storage allowed me to save data for each client.

    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 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!

    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 own a iPad pro 12.9 inch… let me tell you.. this iPad mini is so easy to use!!! I can carry it anywhere. It’s not so overwhelmingly big. So I’d say just buy it. I would’ve chose this over the 12.9 inch any day.

    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

    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.
