iPad mini 6 - 20 Things You DIDN'T Know!

Correction* : GPU is actually the 5 core version (like the iPhone 13 Pro). Still downclocked though.

[@pixelatedrevolt17]

I was about to correct this as well.

[@RedNocturne]

I wouldn’t worry too much about the downclocking. It was probably done to maintain performance for longer times with low temps and no throttling. I would bet dollars to donuts that with throttling factored in, the mini performs better for longer than the iPhones 13 pro.

[@SimplicityForGood]

downclocked How exactly!? would you have wanted it overclocked!? 😅

[@Dame77090]

It’s down clocked due to the difference in camera setup people here down clocked n think it performs worse which is not true it simply doesn’t need as much juice because it doesn’t have some features that the phones have that actually need the extra juice

[@dsyncerror4049]

StILl dOwN ClOcKeD ThOugh . But it is still fasTer due to having more thermal headroom. They down Clocked it because it would cannibalise the m1 iPad pro.

Very informative review. My Mini arrives tomorrow, and your review has given a greater appreciation of the device. I’m thinking it will be a more comfortable alternative to my iPad Air and my iPhone. And yes, the missing earphone jack is not a problem. AirPods are just way better than wired earphones.

«If you can’t decide, just get what you need»

[@friscodog]

iPad Mini for me, all the way! The Air tempted me a teeny-tiny bit last year, but only that much. I never have been a fan of compromise devices that can do so-so jobs at many things. I prefer something that fits perfectly into whatever niche. If I want a larger iPad that can be used to do laptop-like activities, I'll probably get a Pro. The Mini is fantastic! It's the ultimate portable notepad for work. It's great for casual video-watching. It's a perfect little sketchpad, and actually I'm able to do a surprising amount of Procreate drawing and painting despite its tiny size. The other day, I took my Mini to the library for some research. Its small size was great for annotating books I found. Take a picture of the page, mark it up. If I want, I can type some notes underneath the photo. It couldn't have been more smooth. I wish I'd had a tool like this when I was in college and grad school! Some day, I might want to shell out for a Pro. Even then, my Mini will have an important place among my tech devices. On the other hand, if I'd bought an Air and then later bought a Pro, the Air would basically be a brick. So for me, given my particular needs and my passion for perfection, the Mini is infinitely more useful than the Air.

[@AestheticBlack1]

How about the battery life is good or nah?

[@friscodog]

@@AestheticBlack1 You’ll definitely see the difference between the battery life on this versus a bigger machine. I get through a whole day without charging, but not much more.

[@ladyhollman9534]

The Air was made for college students. Speed and larger (split) screen size for textbook viewing … at a modest price point.

[@friscodog]

@@ladyhollman9534 Yeah, I can definitely see that. I’m not taking class notes, so the Mini works quite well for me. But if I were a students, I very likely might have a different perspective.

Today when using new ipad in my class, the sound was definitely quieter than the old ipad mini. i have EQ setting on 'small speakers' as before, If there anything I can do to increases volume without turning my volume & master volume on the amp to dangerously high levels?

Great insights, as expected. I’m shifting over from 2018 iPad Pro 11 as I found that one bent in my backpack when travelling- thankfully I had applecare. Hoping this one will endure travel better. BTW, Bluetooth sound is “lossy” and lousy. Using the dongle with wired headphones will give you CD quality. Even better with a portable DAC like a Fiio, will give you Hi-Res Lossless that Apple Music offers - a big reason why I have shifted across from Spotify.

[@TerryManitoba]

The huge variety of productivity uses for the Mini demonstrates how versatile it can be. A Master of Non - but Good at a lot of stuff - which is find by me!!! I bought an iPad Mini Cellular 9 years ago. I do not browse with it - I'm an adult -so I use my 14" laptop to browse and an Apple TV for viewing. After 9 years of ownership, I use my Mini almost exclusively when I "TRAVEL" - to do the following - otherwise it sits in a drawer. #1- as a GPS unit in my vehicles - the best GPS ever (70%) #2 - as a Sidecar or mirror screen to view video paired with a M2 MBA (25%) #3 - as an eReader (4%) #4 - the odd miscellaneous task (1%) Since it is on its last leg (but not dead) - I will likely buy the new Mini 7 when it comes out later this year. I would never buy a bigger iPad as the Mini is simply a great portable complimentary device.
