    Should you buy the iPad Mini 6? Well, it depends. Here is my 3-week review of the iPad Mini 6. I just spent 3 strange weeks with the iPad Mini 6. If you love tablets, like I do, you’ve probably seen SOME people say the Mini is a terrible iPad, they would never get it, or they’re taking it back.
    And others think it’s an incredible iPad for them, and it’s exactly what they want - so... how can that be? How is it possible for people to have SUCH DRASTICALLY different opinions about the iPad Mini 6?

    I think a lot of people buy into the idea of an iPad as a laptop replacement (at least aspirationally)-thanks to tireless marketing in that regard by Apple-and those people are having a knee-jerk reaction to the mini 6. But a lot of us don’t-or have tried (and tried) and just prefer reaching for a MacBook for hard-core productivity tasks. And once you’ve learned that, try as you might, you really don’t like using your iPad with a keyboard (smart, magic, Bluetooth, or whatever), smaller iPads just become better iPads. I traded in my Air 4 for a mini 6 last week. I can’t put it down. I don’t even want to put it down. The points you made about weight, size, and ergonomics, they really do make the mini 6 unexpectedly delightful. The last time I remember that feeling this strongly with a new Apple device was my rev.1 iPod in 2001. It’s a feeling I never felt during five years I spent using larger iPads Pro with keyboards. I can honestly say this is my favorite tablet ever. And I don’t really think it’s niche, either. It seems to me the only thing that people point to in justifying calling it niche is that it’s harder to use with an external keyboard. If a keyboard is the whole selling point for an iPad, why not just buy a MacBook instead?

      I think you completley miss the fact that most people buy ipads for watching movies and content. And we want nice big screens for that. Smaller ipad not better ipad. I have no need for a keyboard because the 12.9 has a full size virtual keyboard, plus i can draw right on the screen. Smaller Defeats the whole purpose for me. Do you have any regard for how uncomfortable it is to use a laptop laying down or being in a car or standing up, to watch a movie or just doing anything. The selling point is the fact that you can take it off the keyboard. You ever tried taking you Macbook Screen off the keyboard when you needed something more convenient or you wanted to draw on it? Didnt think so.. This is why apple sells millions and you comment on youtube videos lol

      I only have an iPad Pro 9.7" as my main device as my computer is a 12 year old MacBook Pro I rarely use as it's too old. I plan to buy a new Mac at some point. But using my iPad or my iPhone XR has taught me that iOS is NOT a computer replacement. I am buying a new iPad next week for my birthday and am really split between the new Mini or the iPad Pro 11" because of this reason, the M1 is fantastic but also utterly wasted in that iPad Pro because of iOS's limitations, so then the Mini makes more sense as an iPad.

So no, you cannot generalize that the whole world loves larger iPads. That’s kind of my whole point. And you seem to have missed it completely.

It helped since I want to start doing digital art and decided to get an iPad. When I heard the iPad 9 had air gap (screen not being laminated) on it I knew that would immediately effect how I draw. So I decided to buy the iPad mini. Once again thanks so much for helping me chose. By the way sorry this comment is so long.

Now I have gotten into some iOS gaming and suddenly have realized that my IPhone12 Pro's screen feels a bit cramped and has me wanting a bigger screen. Some apps can be played on my M1 MacBook Pro, but not the one I'm playing apparently. After watching your review I am now thinking the Mini 6 might be the right device for me.

    I’m a 3rd year Premed/Biochemistry student, so most, if not all of my classes don’t necessarily require a laptop, but I do need to take notes. After having the mini, most of the time, I ended up just shoving that sucker in my coat pocket without a backpack and going to lectures. I haven’t felt any limits in taking notes, besides the smaller display, but that’s just nitpicking considering I don’t need to even take a backpack with me. It’s honestly a gamechanger from my 11” iPad Pro that I used during quarantine at home.

    Although I have bigger iPad Pro models to use I've always been a fan of the iPad Mini for gaming and travelling. I've had the mini 2 and 4 models and have just traded the 4 in for the 6. Apart from the new shape, that I really like, the extra screen size was the main thing that struck me, I know it's only 0.4 of an inch but it really made a difference. For me I'm super happy with the mini 6.

    I upgraded from the previous 11inch ipad pro to the new ipad mini. No matter what ipad i was using, connecting the apple pencil to the ipad drained the ipad's battery. if you dont use the apple pencil, the mini lasts me about 2-3 full days with moderate to heavy use, the pro lasted about 3.5-4 days with moderate to heavy use. Honestly the battery isn't really an issue unless you're constantly playing power hungry games on the go all the time. I was able to play CoD mobile with an xbox controller and airpods connected for 8 hours starting at 75% battery on the mini with no loss in performance - even as the battery hit 10%. the battery in this thing is actually amazing for how small and light it is. if this means anything to you, I'd say you can confidently leave your home with the ipad mini at 35-40% battery and know it will get you through a full day of heavy use if you're not playing games

    I bought an iPad Mini - 8 years ago. I did not like it for browsing - I use my 14" laptop for that.
    I use my Mini almost exclusively when I travel for the following:
    #1- as a GPS unit in the car - simply the best GPS ever !
    #2 - as a side kick or mirror screen to view video a/w my laptop while on the road
    #3 - & as an Reader
    Over all these years that is about all I have used the mini for (I don't game)
    I will likely buy the new Mini 6 as my old one is on it's last leg.

    I sold my 11 inch iPad Pro M1 with Logitech Combo Touch keyboard for the iPad mini 6 since I already have the Macbook Air M1 for work. I wanted to use the M1 iPad for work but ended using it for gaming so it only makes sense to get the mini for my gaming desires and I've been loving it because it also becomes my EDC while it can also handle my work albeit not as comfortable as the larger iPad + keyboard case

      @@recnelizgaming if you already have a portable device for work, it makes more sense to get the mini for your media consumption and a bit of mobile work. If you game, you will absolutely love this device. Only thing I miss about the pro is the 120Hz, and maybe the extra RAM. Other than that, it's more than enough

    I have had the iPad mini 6 about a week now. It’s great EXCEPT for two features
    1.) the Touch ID doesn’t work for me reliably… maybe, just maybe 1in 20 attempts… I’m always being switched to my ‘digital code’ to access.
    2.) if your using your iPad in landscape mode (as I do) most of the time, the volume buttons are inconveniently placed. Portrait is OK, but landscape just doesn’t fit well for the position of the volume buttons.

As a hobby artist I also like the laminated screen of the iPad mini. I absolutely love that the 6th gen. iPad mini has USB-type C. I dislike lightning connector.

    Been using the iPad Pro 12 inch since the beginning of 2020 as not just a tablet but my laptop and general computer. Although I enjoy it I recently got a M1 Mac mini and part of me is considering going smaller because I use the Apple Pencil a lot and sometimes the Pro almost feels too big. Feels like this is more ideal size for taking notes, mark up and reading or photo editing.

I can listen to tunes while I work and then read a kindle book or article or browse websites/shop on lunch hour or breaks. Being of a certain age, I like the extra screen real estate vs a phone for these things. Glad to have the usb-c and the display is amazing! No complaints here. I also love tablets ❤

    I love my Mini! I just bought one last weekend. I also bought the M1 Pro iPad when it came out this year. When the Mini came out I was so mad because I had been waiting forever for a Mini with Apple Pencil 2 support. So I’m going to take an L selling my M1 256 Cellular iPad Pro to a friend for $750. Apple was a jerk for that and they will only give $550 for a trade in. Even with the scaling issues the Mini is worth it just to be able to comfortably take it anywhere, and hold it in one hand. If I need a keyboard I use a slim folding keyboard by iClever.
