There’s enough grunt here for RAW photo editing, decent video editing and the like – just be aware that the smaller display isn’t ideal for these kinds of tasks. The smaller size makes it less of a productivity beast than the iPad Air and iPad Pro, even though it’s technically just as capable. Pair up a controller and this is arguably the best-sized iPad for gaming on the go. All the games I played from Apple Arcade, including intensive titles such as The Pathless, ran without a hitch.

The A15 is no longer Apple’s latest chip, being replaced by the newer A16 Bionic in iPhone 14 Pro devices, though it still makes for suitably speedy performance. It seems like a 128GB model would have been the sweet spot. The base version is a meagre 64GB, which feels stingy for a device of this price, while the 256GB option requires a significant jump in the cash you’ll have to part with, making this tablet even more niche. The storage situation isn’t quite as positive. There’s the same A15 Bionic chipset powering the tablet as you’ll find on the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro along with 4GB of RAM. It might be Mini on the outside, but this iPad feels Pro inside. 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 256GB of storage.

Same A15 Bionic chipset as the iPhone 13 series.I can’t say that I’ve come across such an issue, or at least it hasn’t been obvious to the naked eye, but it does certainly seem like a problem many are experiencing. Some have complained about issues of ‘jelly scroll’ here, where one half of the screen moves slightly slower than the other, leading to a jelly effect when you’re moving through content in the portrait orientation. This is especially noticeable with those bars that sit around widescreen content compare the colour to the actual black bezel and you’ll see what I’m talking about. But, when compared to OLED, the colours just don’t punch as hard and blacks tend to look more grey. It hits around 450 nits of brightness, covers a decent portion of the DCI-P3 gamut, and is pin-sharp. The 60Hz (apologies to those hoping for 120Hz ProMotion) LCD here is perfectly fine. The display itself impresses less than the overall design, but I’d say that’s because I’ve been spoiled by the OLED panel on recent iPhones and the mini-LED on the big iPad Pro. This really does feel like the iPad that can go anywhere. It will fit nicely inside a decent-sized handbag too, or a back pocket on some decidedly baggy trousers. It’s light enough to grip comfortably in one hand for Kindle reading sessions, or for watching videos on a busy train. The larger display (8.3-inch versus 7.9-inch) fits inside a very similar-sized body. It also comes in a variety of colours, including the pinkish hue seen in the sample images included with this review.Īlso like the iPad Air and iPad Pro, it replaces the Lightning port with USB-C and ditches the headphone jack, pushing you to use wireless or USB-C headphones.įollowing years of the old iPad Mini design, the new look here is refreshing – and it works very well in this smaller size. Like the iPad Air and iPad Pro, the new Mini has flat sides and a flat back. Touch ID, the main form of biometric unlocking, has been moved inside of the power button, while the volume keys are also now on the top – a change that took me a few days of use to properly get used to. It looks modern, with a screen that pushes closer to the edges and no home button in sight. The iPad Mini 6 (or sixth-generation) is modelled after the latest iPad Air. First big redesign for the iPad Mini seriesĪpple likes to tout many uses for the iPad Mini 6, including being a buddy for pilots, but I’d assume that the majority of folk will use it as a media consumption device, which slips into just about any bag with ease.Considering the first device dates back to 2012, this freshening up has been a long time coming. This is really the first time the iPad Mini has been redesigned, with all previous models looking very much the same. These remain niche devices, so much so that the iPhone 13 mini was the last small-screen iPhone to be released, but it’s great to see that Apple is at least trying to target audiences who prefer smaller tech. ‘Mini’ devices have had something of a renaissance in Apple’s product lines in recent years, headlined by the iPhone 13 Mini and now the completely redesigned iPad Mini 6.
It’s happened – Apple has finally redesigned the iPad Mini, ditching the chunky bezels and updating it with many of the features I’ve loved on other modern iPads. Specs Apple A15 Bionic, 4GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.Support for new add-ons The Apple Pencil 2 is supported here and charges on the side.
