    I’ve had my iPad Mini 6th Gen for 2 Months and I’ve loved it. I originally had a iPad Air 2 until it broke, (it is on either IPadOs 12 or 14) Either way I love it!

    Thanks for the great review on the mini i pad , can’t understand why a lot of people gave out about it when it first came out . I had the 2018 12.9 I pad pro and sold it for the mini and man I’m glad I did it’s so handy you can easily take it everywhere with you especially with the small size factor , I just love it I also go the starlight one . I’m hoping a new model will come out this year with 120 h I will definitely be getting one . Thanks again .😎

    I love my iPad mini. Im hoping we get a new one this year, I’ve had mine for about a year but i wish i would have gone with the larger storage. I mostly use it for reading or browsing the web when my phone is charging. That being said, I have an iPhone 15 plus and i dont see the iPad mini comparable in size with the screen. Minis for the win 😊

    iPad mini user here and I simply have to put this thing to rest.
    The whole “jelly scrolling” thing people keep complaining about, yeah, I have not experienced any of that with my iPad Mini 6.
    I also have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I can’t tell the difference between the two when scrolling OTHER than the obvious extra real estate.
    So if any one of you are looking into the iPad Mini 6 then please don’t be put off by these videos talking about this “jelly scrolling issue”. I’m a PC gamer and I’m VERY particular about my monitors and their refresh rates. Believe you me, I have more than enough experience with both Good and Horrible screens and this iPad Minis are a home run.
    So if you’re looking just get one already and enjoy it.

    Great review Sir! I've been torn between getting one of the new iPads (I'm using a 12.9" 3d gen iPad Pro now) and upgrading my 8 year-old 13" MacBook Air to one of the new 15" models. Needless to say that would be a butt-load of bucks! Based on your great review, I'm going to pick up a Mini and a new 15" Air. Thanks again for the great info. Keep up the great work!

I did just buy an 11 air to replace my 7 year old larger iPad. Am excited, love me the starlight color.

    My quick & dirty contribution on how I use and why I like my iPad Mini Cellular - (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.

    The thick design with wide bezels that lowered the screen to body ratio is quite outdated compared to newer Android tablets. I bought instead a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+. I might consider later the mini 7 with a newer lighter and thinner build.

    I think until the mini receives, at least, a M1 processor that it’s not worth buying. I love the form factor but to spend $649 on a mini and the 11 inch M2 Air starts at $599 is a rip off. Either lower the price or up the specs.
