I'm sorry but what do you mean by getting the 5g version of the mini 6? Getting only wifi on the mini 6 you don't have 5g? So we still get 4g instead but with wifi + cellular you get 5g?

Ordered. No 5g. I am planning on tethering to my iphone when i need to. I bought a power bank to go with the ipad mini 6/iphone combo that will address any power drain concerns and since i'm never going to actually carry the ipad in a pocket, i'll have a small carrier with me when i have the ipad, making taking the power bank a no brainer.

I have an iPad 11 Pro 2nd generation with 5G and it's working wonderfully. I'm debating getting the iPad Mini 6 with 5G. 5G in tablets are awesome as I mostly use it on trips for GPS, browsing the net, videos and music and of course FB, LOL. I also have a couple of Samsung tabs with 5G (S8+/S9FE) and use them depending on my mood. The best thing is that I can interchangeably use a physical SIM card between all of them. I do admit I don't use the full potential of these tabs but I know it's there when I need it. Your evaluation covers the whole shebang. Keep up the good work!

Thank goodness I am not the only one that thinks buying a cellular iPad is worth it. I cannot stand using personal hotspot from my phone. Many people will just tell you to use your hotspot, but they forget that the biggest disadvantage is battery drain. Also, using hotspot from your phone counts towards your data allowance.

Hey Mike, thanks for a very thoughtful review on the 5G. I got the iPad mini six. And I am happy with it, I didn’t think about getting 5G I went to Wi-Fi only. Now I’m just having second thoughts. I thought that your thought processes were very good and helpful. I’m gonna keep my eyes open to see if there’s anything on sale before the holidays, and maybe get one and 5G. On the other hand this time next year they’ll have the mini seven with the jelly issue resolved because they would’ve put the hertz up.? Decisions decisions

If you're already into the latest generation, I don't think it's worthwhile to trade up unless you can 1) measure the benefit of going 5G and 2) quickly and easily offload your current device.

I think the use case for cellular with a larger iPad is not as compelling, especially an iPad Pro, since you are less likely to take a $1200 11" tablet the same places you would take a $650 8" tablet.

I've been thinking of getting an ipad mini 6 and actually wanted to get the cellular version. Upon checking here in the Philippines, most are out of stock already and I'm seriously considering just getting the wifi version that's why I started to browse around youtube to help me with my decision. I agree with the perks of having the cellular version, but I'm also looking at another option.. instead of tethering from my phone, I can also just buy portable wifi which I can bring with me if or when I go out.. I rarely go out now because of the pandemic and so it seems impractical for now to get the cellular version. Maybe if circumstances change I'll get it. But for now my cheaper option is to get a portable wifi gadget so I can connect there instead of public wifi. :)

Got a T Mob stand alone data line for $10 usd a month and that prompted me to get a iPad mini 6 5G on sale $100 usd off. Am impressed so far coming from a mini 4 lte except when the T mob data line goes down which happens to often. That’s when I use my Visible $25 usd month as a hot spot. Sacrifice speed but more dependable. Looking forward to iPad 10 5G.

Hey there! Your iPad mini has a SIM card slot for its own SIM card, not for the one from another device. You can't make phone calls from the iPad mini by itself. Apple offers a feature called phone continuity which uses your iPhone when nearby, but that doesn't require a SIM card either. A separate phone number (and SIM card) is needed when you want to use your iPad mini as a standalone device when not connected to wifi or via tethering. Does that answer your question?
