The Apple iPad Mini (6th Generation) is fantastic! The A15 Bionic chip makes everything smooth and fast, from browsing to running apps. The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display is stunning—perfect for watching videos, reading, or gaming. The compact size makes it incredibly portable without sacrificing performance. 64GB is ample storage for my needs, and it handles multitasking seamlessly. Whether for work or entertainment, this iPad Mini is the perfect balance of power and portability. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this tiny toy!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2022
First let me tell you I was hesitant about buying an iPad Mini. I even considered buying an iPad Pro: I have had two 9.7" iPads (series 4 and series 6) so I thought I would miss a larger screen. Turns out, I didn't. I will give you a few hints on what to expect with this device:

Pros:
* Higher resolution: One of the main factors that led me to buy this tiny beast was the screen resolution (319 ppi), which is higher than any other iPad's resolution. I highlight this feature because I use my iPad primarily to read and watch IT videos.
* Portability (it's really lightweight! You will be astounded when you pick one of these)
* Size (You can hold the whole device with one hand while writing with the other, something unthinkable in larger iPads).
* Battery life (Discharge rate: about 5% / hour when playing videos; Charge rate: about 10% / 14 min)
* TouchID (Very convenient, and it recognizes the fingerprint very quickly)
* Stereo speakers (they sound really good!)
* Apple Pencil support (When paired with an Apple pencil, it's a breeze. I'm using a note-taking application that allows me to use my iPad as a small notebook. It made me wish I had done this while I was still studying).
* Three months of Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music (Apple gives you three months of Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music by only purchasing the device. So I'm enjoying a series in Apple TV+ "For all mankind" and it really looks great in this screen. I'm planning to watch other productions during these three months).

Cons:
* No silent mode switch (I use teh control center to lower the volume when needed)
* No FaceID (I use the TouchID and it's very convenient and fast)
* No raise to wake (I gently double tap the screen to wake it up).
* No Promotion (There is no workaround to this. The device has a standard 60hz screen, so you will have to decide if you accept it or not)
* Some users report sort of a "jelly effect" in the screen when you fast scroll the screen. I haven't noticed anything similar to this behavior in any direction (up, down in vertical nor portrait mode).

A word of advice about storage:

* If you're thinking about this device, go for the 256 GB one. That was my selection, and I'm glad I did it, because after only one week of usage, I have already used 35 GB of storage. Had I selected the 64 GB version, I would be worried about the storage already.

Conclusion:

The iPad mini lacks some features its bigger brothers have, but despite this fact, this is totally a great device. If you can sacrifice those features in favor of portability (or you find a way to sort them, as I did), you won't regret. Hopefully we will be able to see an "iPad Pro Mini" in the future (I hope Apple folks read this review someday), but for now, I'm very happy with this purchase. I'm declaring myself an iPad mini fan from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best mini ipad since sliced bread!! It's awesome. WOW is all I can say. Highly recommend.

I spent 7 hours researching a good ipad. I wanted something to use in my hand, not to big or small. I am coming from the iPad mini 5th generation and WOW is this a huge step up. So many great things about it. Not one bad thing at all. I have 9 apple products and love them all. I'm well pleased. Apple does it again. I am glad that I got a good price for this. Apple and eBay sells this for $100 more so I bought it from Amazon. I am so glad that I did. It is super fast. Great feel, quality and awesome camera. The picture quality is unreal. It is very portable even with a case on it. The storage is great. I have 30GB free even after the new iOS install. This is a larger screen than the iPad 5th generation. No more home button, yay. I love the round square edges. I love the pencil 2 charging option. The new A15 bionic chip is awesome. So fast. The battery last 10 hours. Everything loads faster and better. My web pages load so much faster. The video content is awesome. I am very impressed. The 8.3" screen is larger than the 7.9" screens and you can tell the difference. I love the edge to edge viewing. The colors are so very real and vibrant. I highly recommend this. Must buy. I buy a new ipad Everytime they come out with the mini.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for carrying with me everywhere!
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023
This is my third iPad. My first was an iPad Pro from 2017, second was my iPad Air 5th generation, and then this little guy. My boyfriend received my 2017 iPad from me (it still works well), and I love my iPad Air, but it’s a hassle to take it anywhere unless I have an enormous purse, or my work backpack.
Hence, I bought this iPad mini during prime day (awesome deal!)I got the starlight color and 256 gb Wi-Fi only model. I decided to pay the extra $$$ to get the larger memory so that I can have the freedom to download movies and tv shows for when I don’t have Wi-Fi. Also, 64 gb is hardly enough storage nowadays, at least in my opinion.
I use my iPad for reading, streaming movies/tv shows, as a planner, as a coloring book and sketchbook, and surfing the internet. I also purchased an Apple Pencil, second generation, and I purchased a Paperlike screen protector— it helps me write easier and smoother on it.
I love this thing!!! It’s perfect to take literally anywhere and fits in most of my purses. I will say, battery life is subpar, especially when compared with my older iPad Pro. The 2021 iPad mini and 2022 iPad Air that I own don’t have the best battery life, but at least they charge up quickly with the included usb-c charger. I guess the newer models don’t hold a charge as long, but when I travel I bring an Anker portable battery with me, just in case.
Yes… jelly scrolling is real, but not a deal breaker for me. You see it, but I don’t find it distracting at all. It only happens in portrait mode when you’re scrolling quickly, and because it’s an issue I expected, I’m not going to fuss over or complain about it.
I’m planning on purchasing apple care. If you get an Apple device, there’s no reason not to get it, in my opinion. Apple will replace the iPad under warranty if something is wrong with it (not including accidents) for up to a year after original purchase, but if you don’t have Apple care and something happens after that, you’re stuck with a hefty bill. So… spend the extra coin and get apple care.
This isn’t as heavy as my iPad Air, I can easily hold it in one hand, which makes it perfect for reading and watching shows. I believe it weighs about .5 lbs less than the Air or something like that.
I don’t notice much of a difference between this iPad mini and my iPad Air with the M1 chip in it as far as processing power goes. It’s still fast and powerful, and can tackle anything I throw at it with ease.
Delivery was okay. Amazon sent me a code to give to the Amazon driver on the day of delivery (the day after I ordered it). The driver dropped the iPad case I’d ordered on my doorstep, then left. I had to chase him down to give him the code and get my package. So a bit aggravating, but it ended up working out fine.
I would definitely recommend this iPad mini to anyone who is looking for something larger than a phone, but smaller than an original sized iPad or laptop. It’s super portable. Sure, a little small for setting up two windows side by side, but I don’t do that often. Wait for a sale and purchase it! It’ll be well worth it.
