iPad Mini 6 in (2024) Review - DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE..!

The iPad Mini 6 could be an absolute steal in 2024! The iPad Mini could be had at a discounted price, but that's not to say this iPad is a slouch, the iPad Mini 6 has an incredible display, good battery life and I love the size but there are a few things you should know.

Great video, I have had mine since they came out, and use it way more than any other device I own. so light, the screen is amazing, and the sound is fantastic!

[@ramankular]

Recently acquired the iPad mini 6 and couldn't be happier, especially transitioning from the iPad Pro 11". It perfectly meets my requirements as a dedicated media consumption device for watching videos and listening to music, distinct from my MacBook, which fulfills its own unique role as my productivity workhorse.

Nice video. I have a IPad Pro M2 12.9, which I use for everything, Notability, Photos,etc. I’m wanting to get the IPad Mini 6 for only streaming KZbin, Netflix, and web browsing. No photos or any downloads. Want it for its easy portability. Will 64gb be enough? I also have iCloud storage, won’t be transferring anything over from my IPad Pro M2. Any advice will help greatly.

[@jdkilpatrick2000]

I have had my iPad mini 5th Gen for the last few years, and it’s 64 GB. It has been a great tablet - it’s my most used device. So portable, great for video viewing, online shopping, etc. I had been holding out for the 7, but broke down and got the 6 with 256 GB last night because I’ve used up so much storage on my 5 that I can’t update the software anymore. 😂 (And the one I purchased is currently on sale for $100 off.) So, I personally would recommend spending a bit more money and getting 4x the storage. I like to keep a few tv episodes or movies downloaded to my device for when the power goes out or I don’t have Wi-Fi for some other reason.

[@dubletrouble]

I’ve had my iPad mini 6 for close to 6 months, I absolutely love it, it’s my idea of a portable versatile tablet that can do anything your phone can but with a bigger yet portable design. Pulling it out in public is not nearly as jarring as pulling out an 11 in iPad Pro

[@norseworx]

Great video! I have an iPad Pro 11” and M3 MacBook Pro, and I still feel compelled to buy this smaller unit. Also, I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max My MacBook is for major schoolwork on the go and some photo editing. My large iPad is for business meetings. It's less intrusive than my 14-inch laptop. My question to you is, do you think the iPad mini six would be a great addition to this ecosystem for tablets and gaming? I assume yes.

i am in the "shall i wait for 7 or get the 6" category. i think if they 6 dropped in price a bit more i would get the 6 now. Currently a 64gb one on Apple store is £569 , although the cheapest new one i have seen outside Apple Store is £378. So maybe £378 is the lowest they will go ?

[@arielovalle4777]

Def one of the reasons I swapped my 12.9 iPad Pro.

[@anthonysimpson6738]

I have an old iPad gen 6th that needed replacing as starting to get too slow and full. Our child broke my partner iPad so we needed a replacement for my partner and our child. I had purchased a iPad Mini for work and found it very practical fits in my back pocket. I was prepared to wait for the new iPad mini 7 expected at the end of 2024 as generally I update with the latest because of the length of time I hold onto a iPad 5-7 years. But in the end decided to buy the Mini iPad 6 for all three of us as we needed them now. We use them for consumption and it would be fine performance wise. I had considered the iPad 10th gen, nice colours but the lack of support for the 2nd gen Apple Pencil was the main reason to not go with them. The Wi-Fi changing and magnetic sticking meant it was more likely to be practical and used. The iPad mini goes well with our iPhone 13 mini, in the sense can carry both around on holidays and trips. It would have been nice to get the iPad Mini 7 but I suppose I could upgrade when it is released if compelling reasons to upgrade but likely just a chip jump that is all that will change. I actually like just one camera bump on a iPad it looks cleaner and generally I don’t take pics or videos with an iPad. Really weird how Apple hasn’t upgrade iPad for so long. Anyway my reasons for buying an iPad Mini 6 in 2024. It is still good to use.

Swapped my 12.9 iPad Pro after having it for a year last year for the Mini. Had no need for it since I have a MBA. Plus bringing the Pro to work everyday to read or watch tv during lunch was annoying. My first iPad back 12 years ago was a Mini and after going back I gotta say the iPad Mini is the perfect tablet for my needs. I’ll def upgrade to the 7 whenever Apple releases it.

[@edcipriani8873]

I agree with you, the iPad Mini is a great device. I had the iPad mini 4 for a few years. After it stopped getting updates for a couple years, I decided to go with the iPad Air in early 2022. I could get a much larger screen for $100 more by stepping up to the iPad Air. I didn't want the regular entry level iPad, and I felt that stepping up to the iPad Pro was overkill and unnecessary. I just figured that a larger screen would be easier on my much older eyes. I definitely do miss the much more portability advantage of the mini, but this works for me. I just wish Apple included the Pencil when you buy an iPad. Samsung includes the S-Pen with many of their tablets, including the new S9 FE. I realized a long time again that while purchasing many of Apple's devices is worth the investment, many of Apple's accessories are way overpriced and are a ripoff, especially when you can buy other brands that work just as well.

[@alejandroaguilar1591]

🐬 from Mexico

🐬 The thing  Apple and also most people forget is that this tablet sice is really good for a lot of work environments. While the iPad Pro makes sense for specialized applications and professions. The iPad-Mini could be a game changer in stores, hospitals, warehouses etc. As a quick handheld solution to minimize paperwork. I was at a hospital lately where they used it for all necessary signings. After they stored everything in their server the doctors used it later for the operation to review the information quickly. I still think that a small tablet and perhaps your smartphone is all you need if your job requires a lot of traveling or walking from one place to another. Well some kind of better Palm-device 😂. The only thing that is missing is that apple should consider this thinking and spec them up too.

[@homeboiUH]

I just got one for 150 bucks, crazy.

[@thatonedog819]

I definitely disagree on the mini being best for note taking. I have a pro 12.9 and frankly the way I take notes, it's perfect. It would be too annoying to constantly move around on it. Now if you're standing and taking notes, I would agree. But I don't ever do that in class.

[@TerryManitoba]

My quick & dirty contribution on how I use and why I like my Mini - (used with MBA & iPhone Pro) AMAZINGLY this iPad still works very well with very few glitches - even after having dropped this device innumerable # of times while traveling without fail. Of course the battery is not up to scratch but as I use it mainly in my Van Conversion or Hot Hatch etc - there is always a USB plug nearby. Off course it is slow - but not excrutiatingly slow. I have recently two sided taped a metal ring (MagSafe magnet compatible without the charge) so when the Mini is in Sidecar mode it works on the multiple magsafe magnets I have in the van. I will definitely wait & buy the Mini 7 when it comes out real SOON!?! The Mini is simply a great portable high performance device that sits between an iPhone & MBA. It is complimentary and is an essential device (for me when traveling) doing the tasks described above. I would NOT even consider any other iPad. The large variety of productivity & entertainment uses for the Mini demonstrates how versatile it can be for so many people. Master of Nun - But Good at a lot of stuff - Fine by me!!! I use my Mini exclusively when I "TRAVEL" - to do the following: (otherwise it sits in a drawer). 55% - as a GPS unit mounted to a RAM mount in my vehicles.- the best GPS "EVER"! I downloaded the "Navigon" app (a Garmin app) and spent $60 for all North American Map Data. This App has not been updated for 5 years now - but still works just fine - some newest roads are not displayed but who gives a Flying F (the iPhone fills the gap). That's after over 200K miles of road trips. FYI - lots of pilots use the Mini for realtime in-flight information 40% - as a Sidecar or screen mirroring when viewing YT & movies - it is mounted to a MagSafe style magnet stand. 4% - as an eReader 1% - miscellaneous tasks. This usage distribution may change when I buy the 7 - a/w the pencil - time will tell... I will certainly wait & buy the new Mini 7 when it comes out real SOON!?! The Mini is simply a great portable high performance device that sits between an iPhone & MBA. It is complimentary and is an essential device (for me when traveling) doing the tasks described above. I would NOT even consider any other iPad.
