I purchased one last year after your excellent review and recommendation. It has become my daily companion for quick access to email, texts, and the web. I mostly use it as an e-reader. It's small and light and can be held up in front of my face while traveling on an airplane or lying in bed before going to sleep. That said, I also bought a refurbished iPad Air 4 which I prefer to use due to the larger screen size when I'm doing more intensive work such as composing longer emails, viewing photos, and interfacing with websites.

I see a lot of folks don’t like the Mini 6. But, my wife absolutely LOVES it! I was concerned when I bought it for her B-Day…but for the FIRST TIME EVER…she uses the iPad more than her phone. She just hated the larger iPads. I guess too heavy for longer use?… but, now, she puts her phone down after work, and goes to the mini. And she uses it all night and even early in the morning for FaceTime calls. So, “jelly scroll” means nothing to her!

I love my iPad Mini 6. I got it a year ago to use for classes (I’m an interior design student) and also for home use. It’s shown its inability to keep up with big tasks, and I can see lag when opening files now. It was definitely not made for graphically, and large data, demanding work flows. At the start though, it was a perfect fit. I wish it was more powerful. I made the decision to upgrade to the iPad Pro M2 just this week. It is so much better, and I can tell the device is made to last. My advice for designers and students, is to get a stronger iPad than the Mini. The Mini is not going to last you that long. It’s got a planned obsolescence.

Just got a 256gb one from Currys at less than the pre increase Apple price plus a pencil 2 from Amazon at a much cheaper price too. Saved about £200. My mini 2 has been great for 7 years but now more and more apps won’t work with it. Use case for me is: I’m an engineering lecturer and use MacBook Pros, studio displays, the great 10.5 iPad Pro with Smart Keyboard and the Logitech combo keyboard case but boy is that heavy to use in class, on my travels and around the Uni where I hold it for talk notes etc. My 13 pro phone is superb for making films etc but I need something light but easy to read and write with. As I travel an hour each way on a bus to work I wanted the mini for reading papers, books, Apple notes etc and the mini is ideal for this. I take my current mini 2 on trips to London or overseas because it fits in my coat pocket and weighs nothing. My friend and I tried to keep an eye on a Champions league match whilst doing a pub quiz the other week on my iPhone 13. Screen was too small to share on the table. So in summary, having a small light high quality iPad that fits in my jacket pocket but is large enough to read equations and diagrams is a boon. Part work part personal use case. Finally my son, an IT pro, thinks it could be the last mini as phones are getting bigger and many people will now go for the iphone 14 max as a hybrid/compromise. But there is no pen support for that. I sat on the fence for a few days as it still cost £700 with the pencil so haven’t taken the plunge and opened the box. I will do this weekend based on your reviews and will take it on the train to London next weekend as the World Cup kicks off and there is no TV in my favourite little pub near the British Museum so I will stream England via my iPhone.

I upgraded to the Mini 6 from the Mini 4 a couple months ago and I couldn’t be happier. The only minor flaw with it is the screen refresh orientation change that causes the jelly effect, but that’s so minor it doesn’t matter…just an observation. Years ago I started with Android tablets but have had three iPads since I gave up on them. I checked them out again before buying the Mini 6 and they’re much more competitive, but not for the same money as the Mini 6. I still don’t like the Apple notifications but it’s not a big deal on a tablet since my Android phone is usually nearby.

On my previous post, I tried to add an image of the Amazon listing for the Arteck Keyboard Case for the ipad mini 6, but it only came out with a code. I think the Arteck case is the best keyboard case solution available for the ipad mini 6. It’s also a steal for the price. It makes the ipad heavier, but it is still very small. It protects the ipad very well. There is a slight lag when the keyboard has been asleep and you first start typing, but it is easy to deal with. Recommended.

My suggestion to the next Mini: have the 128gb option please! I bought the 256gb at first with high hopes for this iPad. However, after using it for 2 weeks, I noticed too many little things that makes this iPad somewhat annoying and only useful for media consumption, reading, note taking and gaming. I do love the portability so in the end I got the 64gb cause it’s not worth 200$ more for storage that I probably won’t need. I think it should be enough for my usage, but gosh 128gb would be much more future proof.

I’m still using the iPad mini 5 and still loving it. I don’t think the 6 is much of an upgrade (I don’t play games and I haves MacBook Pro and a Mac mini for other work) but if my mini 5 becomes unusable, I’ll definitely consider buying the mini 6 or whatever new version in the mini form factor. The only gripe is it’s pretty expensive for what it is. Apple should lower the price of the current version, or add some pro features for a premium version. I mean 64gb base model? That’s really ridiculous.

Until the iPad update debacle two weeks ago, I’d been leaning towards a base 11” iPad Pro to replace my eight year old iPad Air 2 but that thought process has now been scrubbed. My iPad Air 2 has given me fantastic service nearly every day but I’ve turned my thoughts heavily to this iPad Mini 6, in no small part due to your reviews, deliberations and recommendations. The one thing that grinds me is the base 64gb storage. My existing iPad has been hovering near its 64 gb capacity for quite a while and I’m constantly having to delete stuff. In Canada it’s another C$200 for 256 gb. I’m almost there but, yeah, it gets expensive. Great work. Thanks.

I did get the Air end of last year, and while it’s great on the magic keyboard for getting work done, it’s the Mini that is always in my hand, more so than my phone.

I'm a student and I still like using my iPad mini 6 in amphitheatre, when I just have to type notes or take pictures without getting caught (instead of copying charts and schemas entirely 😅), but I'm originally a laptop user and I think that according to my own experience, the iPad mini is definitely too limited. No keyboard, no USB port, I cannot have more than three apps opened at the same time, so of course it helps you to stay focused, but honestly, when you only have only three apps, it means that you have to open more windows in your browser and the browsers are not optimised to switch between apps and browser's websites, that's why a laptop will finally always be better for me than an iPad

Thanks for the review! You confirmed what I was thinking when I took advantage of a CyberMonday deal, and ordered a Mini 6 w/cell function to use during extended travel in remote parts of Baja California MX in 2023. I'll be picking it up in a few days, now pre-planning & searching for accessory advice & deals. This will be my first time using a cellular model. However, it will be my 3rd Mini in 10 years- all purchased primarily for extended travel: A Mini 1 (2013) was used for a few weeks in Europe (attracted a lot of curious stares at the time), followed by many trips into Mexico. My travel companion also bought one- we loved the size, weight, and ease of use. It wasn't until a holiday trip to Amsterdam in 2016 that the processor really began struggling with IOS updates. That lead to a Mini 4 that was used intensively for 2 weeks in NZ (2018). Both have worked flawlessly- I can't imagine traveling with anything else. I can carry a Mini in one hand, it fits easily into small bags/purse, allowed for comfortable inflight movie streaming/email work etc. on long flights- without taking up the entire seat back tray- and even fits in a large pocket in situations where backpacks/large bags are not allowed (a possibility in some museum venues). All this is possible with the quality & capability of much larger devices. Finally- I agree: a magic keyboard would be very useful. (I've used Zagg products while waiting for that to happen) May also get the pencil & try the paper screen cover you mention, for scribbling field notes. (I use Notes every day, and love that the Information is available on all my Apple devices as I move from one location/tablet/phone/Imac to another.) Thanks again for a very helpful review- have a healthy, happy holiday season!

Looking at grabbing one of these for art, I'm a digital artist and got a dedicated laptop and $300 drawing tablet. Yet however I find it constraining since I'm hardly at home with a full-time job, between work and family life I don't have as many hours as I'd like to have drawing. So being able to draw on the go like I used to with my sketch books would be fantastic, chilling at work off the clock and drawing for an hour before I head home sounds appealing since I live relatively far away. Plus, I plan to get into trucking, a career where you basically live on the road anyway. Your video has been helpful for me, originally, I was going to get the Ipad Pro 12.9, but it seems too clunky to just grab and go. The mini is more like a beefed-out phone than a tablet. If anything, it'd be great for reading and movies, or perhaps even KZitem.

Next month is my one year anniversary with my iPad mini 6. Been using it as my digital notepad, e-reader, and youtube bingeing. Absolutely love it and the only thing that is missing is a Magic Keyboard. I feel like Apple kinda doesn’t really care that much about iPad mini. The only accessories available for it from Apple is the smart folio, it also doesn’t support stage manager despite being in the market for less than a year. I know that stage manager and Magic Keyboard sound ridiculous on the mini smaller screen but at least for a device that doesn’t positioned as an “entry level”, having the option would be nice. With Apple discontinued the mini iPhone line, I wouldn’t be surprised either if apple will only update iPad mini occasionally just to keep the very niche user base happy. Which is a bummer since I use both devices and absolutely enjoying every little thing about them.

Though my need for my iPad Mini 6 has made it fall into disuse lately - I 100% agree w/ all the points you make for it. And it's just lovely how many reviews you've done for this one product - genuine love. Thanks Mark for another super enjoyable review.

@@decriptedperson4516 I was hoping to use it at work, as I am a carpenter, and often times need to draw things up or just plain write things down. But even at this size it just wasn’t practical. I do love to just use it from time to time to draw in, and am very happy that version two of the pencil is always powered up.

@@decriptedperson4516 Well that's what I'd hoped. But I work on site, new construction, dirt dust and slippery fingers (unscrupulous workers) made it unthinkable to put it down for any time in this chaotic environment. And mind you, I'm wearing a tool vest and tools dangling and full pockets. So I just couldn't keep handy, laying it anywhere like a note pad of cheap paper. Alas. I had initial high hopes, but my main use case was not to be. I use it elsewhere occasionally, and it is a MOST lovely device and perfect size nonetheless.

I love my Mini 6, but one thing that drives me up the wall with it (and iPads in general) is the terrible Files app. They keep promoting it as a viable alternative to a computer filing system, but alas, it is not even close. Even with the upgrade to iPadOS 16, there are still many shortcomings. When I go on trips, I don’t like lugging around a clunky laptop, so I have been trying to use the iPad instead for transferring photos from my camera to a thumb drive via a multi port dongle. This has been a frustrating proposition to say the least. I would say perhaps 50/50 it works. The rest of the time, it would either stop copying halfway through (the progress circle is quite uselsss), or copy over a bunch of corrupt files. Yes, I know some people will tell me to bring more SD cards for my cameras, but some simply don’t have that option, like my Insta360 Go2, for example. Overall, I still love my Mini 6. It works surprisingly well for editing 4K videos through Lumafusion, but as an overall computer replacement, I would say it is maybe about halfway there.

The funny thing is that I recently purchased a Pixel 6a strictly for the camera, and I’ve come to realize that the file system on Android actually accomplishes this simple task much more efficiently! So now, better yet, I don’t even need to lug the Mini anymore!

I use it but don’t really care for many things about it. Font scaling is poor, with lots of wasted space. The built in keyboard keyboard is either too large in landscape mode, or too small in portrait mode. The display is useless in bright conditions and many apps are not optimized for the form factor. For example, is difficult to scroll with KZitem because the slider is too close to the bottom of the display. I live in a hot and humid climate, and mine overheats and freezes when in these conditions. Only reason I use it is I like the performance and form factor.

i bought it when it first launched, and it has easily replaced my old ipad pro (2017) as my main ipad. echoing that it'd be great to have a keyboard though, even if it's small: the size makes it super finicky to type on

I have an iPad mini 5, which I find brilliant. The mini 6 really has nothing extra enough for me to upgrade. The only gripe I have about the mini is the limited storage. I would like to see one with 512 or 1 tb of storage. Why can’t they be like Samsung where you can cheaply upgrade the storage with an SD card?

How do you find this as a compliment to the iPhone Pro Max now? Previously I thought it was an amazing device for travel alongside the iPhone 13 mini, but is that more redundant now you have upgraded to the big screen iPhone?
