The iPad Mini is all-new for 2021. Apple has redesigned the hardware with a larger 8.3-inch display, replaced the Lightning port with USB-C, and added support for the second-generation Apple Pencil. Pricing starts at $499 for the 64GB Wi-Fi-only model and $649 for the 5G-enabled cellular version.

I very much agree with the reviewer about the iPad mini size in such an ergonomic manner that it provides a very good balance between engaging with your device while giving room for open social engagement at the same time. It avoids the personal isolation when using an iPhone and even "movie mode" in an iPad Pro . It's so perfectly right in size

I adopted the iPad as my main computer in 2016, the first Pro pushed me over the edge. Without a work laptop a 13" screen was a great compliment to my desktop for meetings an travel. Since then I have been given a 13" laptop and the mini has been my favourite computer since late 2019. This updated model means I now only need one pencil which is nice and I can use all my USB-C accessories. This might spell the end for my 2018 12.9 Pro.

I’m definitely looking at it serving as my media outlet when I’m chilling in bed or on the couch. Netflix, Disney+, social media or browsing the web etc to give my iPhone a break from always being used for KZbin, Twitch and the other streaming services and I’ll definitely get some note taking in with the Apple Pencil 2. Definitely excited to receive it.

It’ll be easier than using my phone, but will fit in just about any camera bag (unlike the behemoth pros).

i'm getting one of these soon. i used to have an old 3rd gen ipad, which was great, but even as i grew it was just too big and heavy for me. i know the new ipads are lighter and thinner now but the overall footprint is basically the same and isnt a device i feel comfortable tossing into a bag or carrying in one hand. i recently got an old 2nd gen mini off of ebay for cheap to try out, and needless to say, i love the form factor. i can be so much more productive with it than i can with my phone, but still have the portability and convivence of something smaller than my laptop. not to mention that it actually fits into my baggy sweatpants pockets. and since it has the newest, insanely powerful A15 chip, i have no doubt that this tablet will last be a very very long time.

I've been using the iPad Mini 6 since launch day last week. It's a lovely machine with meaningful upgrades. I like that because the aspect ratio has changed that videos in widescreen are now bigger and the borders are smaller. I've not noticed the jelly scroll issue with my unit. Also very strange to see flash paired with a good camera on unit. It works great as a torch!! (there is now actually a shortcut for this when you swipe from the top right like iPhones).

Being able to put it in a jacket pocket and go is great. The iPadOS15 app scaling on the Home Screen is throwing me off. I also miss Face ID but Touch ID is helpful when wearing a mask. Not a fan of the bezels but I get it. Still need time to decide if I stick with my 11” or go to the mini.

This is the device I’ve wanted since the beginning of the pandemic and the start of working primarily from home. Now that work calls happen exclusively on my mobile phone, and I don’t have to be tethered to my desk, I take a lot more calls while walking through the neighborhood. And in my business, there are a lot of calls. It’s great to have something easy to hold that can slip easily into a back pocket or jacket pocket that’s connected to cellular so I can actually do some basic cloud computing while I’m strolling about. I know that’s a random use case for most people, but it’s a big quality of life thing for me. I ordered immediately after Apple’s keynote and have been enjoying it a lot. It fits into my work life exactly as I had hoped, and its also an excellent evening device for watching movies, reading the news, etc. It is also a much better media consumption device to pair with my laptop when traveling. My previous tablet, an 11” iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard was almost the same size as my 13” laptop, and it added a lot of bulk to my bag.

I love the form factor of the Mini, which is why I have used a second generation mini.since they first came out. I have a keyboard case on it, and I used it as my work laptop. It still functioned as such, but I could see how a smart pencil would be useful for taking notes in meetings, so a couple of months ago I bought a gen 5 Mini. It’s fantastic! I love the multi tasking capability, and the pencil has been even more useful than I had expected. So would I buy a gen 6 Mini? No. Why? First of all, because of the price. I got my 5 at Best Buy new for $299. The 6 costs sooooo much more! The 5 does far more than I need it to, so why would I pay more fir stuff I won’t use? Secondly, I prefer the 5’s form factor, probably because I used the 2 for so long. When I tried a 6 out the bevels were too small, and I kept touching the screen when I didn’t mean to. Finally, I use the Mini because I need something that I can easily use in multiple environments. In the rain, or on a boat. That means using a clear waterproof dry bag. When doing so, the home button is easy to use. The 6’s top button, not so much. So I will just stick with my Mini 5 for now. In 8 years or so I might start thinking about upgrading again.

I loved media consumption on Nexus 7 so iPad Mini is very tempting, especially that is perfectly capable of more ambitious tasks like processing raw files from camera on the go in lightroom etc. But I just can't justify the price/storage ratio for what I would use it. You can get thin small laptop like hp envy, with more storage, which covers all use-cases and more, for the same price.

For me it’s the combination of an iPad Air 2020 and IPhone 11 (as a mini) to help me in all the ways - power, portability, computing device - sheets, docs, reading, editing, gaming and watching content. Why even go for a mini. I think it’s basically for children as their primary device - but again for that amazing price for 256gb - it’s a very very hard recommendation for hardly anybody. A great powerhouse but hard to recommend. Instead the Air with more screen estate is (trust me) really worth it - for all that an iPad is capable of And if you want a portable device to carry on your work from the iPad - you have an iPhone 🤷‍♂️ It’s a pocketable beast of a device - where almost everything can be done - whenever you are moving around or stuck in tight places or want to carry a single device

I have now had the ipad mini since last Friday, and as a samsung user, I must say that I love it! Samsung doesn’t make high end smaller tablets any more, so I had to jump ship. The ipad is the perfect size tablet for everything I use it for. Reading, internet, check mails, youtube, etc.

LOL! Literally watched this video to see if I can replace my iPhone with a Light Phone and an iPad Mini so I’m not tied to using the “primary computing device” all the time. Great video! (Min 4:20)

Dang, I had an awesome comment..... about your New Apple Slogan, they say. Think Different, yet at the near end you say.... now it's best you.... Think Differently! your's was a great review! Hopefully I'll be thinking differently soon. I had an 11" IPP, then knew I needed bigger, sold that but now having the new 24 in Yellow, I find I'm swaying towards the Mini in Purple...256 of course!

Excellent, down to earth review (> and once more >> DEF YES. The iPad mini is almost like a GIANT iphone .. and that is what I'd like. Can't have that so this can fit that bill (and still be a sort of small content able / vid call or quick vid meeting sort of device that's lots easier to manage than on a simple mobile). Good stuff.

i love this new ipad mini 6 only things that i dont like is the software of how the widgets are tiny and the apps are not spread out that much and looks crammed i liked how it was in ios 14 better and the volume buttons on the top are a little weird too!

You can make your icons bigger on iOS. Settings -> Home Screen and Dock -> Use large icons.

I am an avid iPad Mini user. I got the original iPad Mini, the iPad Mini2, and the iPad Mini4, and have been waiting so long for this. I chose not to upgrade to the iPad Mini5 because the processor upgrade and lack of 5G didn’t feel worth it. But now with this redesign and upgrade, I can’t wait to get my unit. The form factor is perfect for portability, content consumption, and great for my kids to use on the go. And now with 5G, it makes even more sense as I can use it as a hotspot for my kids while they use my old iPhones or iPad Minis. I also use my iPhone and iPad Mini as my trading platform to manage my family trading accounts. So now I really can work from anywhere that has decent Wi-Fi or LTE or 5G coverage! Assuming my youngest ones are not sick or need my attention…. But the iPad Mini is great for screen size, feel in the hand, and even how it fits in my crossbody sling bag, that also carries a lot of my other daddy supplies for my kids. Granted we aren’t going out like we used to, but even at home, it is so much easier to hold and consume content on it than my iPhone or regular sized iPads. Getting older(turned 50 last year), getting eye strain using the iPhone and get wrist/hand/arm fatigue using regular sized iPads…

Probably gonna get one. I already bought an M1 MacBook, and I feel like the Mini would make the most sense for someone who doesn’t need a laptop replacement.

ipad air or just ditch it and get the mini which one should I get? And do i really need wifi + cellular? I really only need a ipad for watching anime lmao as well as college, travelling, and using it for notes. I really like the mini kinda leaning towards it. But i need an opinion. I also wanna ask if the screen was ever a downside and what issues have you had with the mini?

I have always preferred my iPad mini...owned the second gen; I own the 5th gen...256Gb with Apple Pencil 1st gen... I would love to get the 6th gen but no way no how right now. For me the perfect size for reading books, science papers, taking notes on Goodnotes, watch videos; grading students on the class room, taking data on the laboratory, on the field, to see maps on the mountain (I am a scientist a neurobiologist and a mountaineering) ... to amply photos directly from my DSLR Canon camera anyway things that would be hard and awkward on a larger iPad or smaller iPhone. (I can draw on procreate too; can't imagine how the 6th gen would perform on all this when I still love the 5th gen).
