Perfect size and powerful
I've had the newest Mini for months now and I love it. I've had an older 11” Pro before and this form factor is so much better. It's great to watch YouTube videos on and media in general. Battery life is pretty much the same as all other iPads I've used, which is at least one generation from each type. Performance is amazing as to be expected, playing games is super smooth and I've never felt it get hot. It's perfect for gaming since it's much easier to hold. The usb c port is great as I've used it multiple times connected to our TV, then connect a few controllers and game away on the big screen! Perfect size for reading as well. Overall I'm very impressed and it's definitely my favorite tablet and maybe even favorite Apple device.

Extreme-point GPS
Forget the Jelly screen on the Mini 6. When I was using Apple Maps it had extremely inaccurate GPS and long latency. I had no problem with Google Maps on the Samsung tablet. I tried Google maps again on mini6 and the results were the same as apple maps. The explanation is that the GPS of mini 6 is very poor! Very poor! Its navigation jumps forward, often making you miss your position.

    There is nothing to dislike about this iPad mini 6. I have purchased iPad 1st and 9th generation as well as iPad 3,4 and 6 (all from Walmart) Never an issue. Fast delivery, packaged well. Oh, did I mention that I also have an Apple 10SE phone. LOVE MY APPLE !!!!

    Very small icons and text
    This would be a great tablet but the scaling is way to small, the text looks too small and many are complaining about it, I wish I took a picture, compared to my Samsung phone that has bigger text and icons, you can increase the text size, but it only works on certain apps and not on home screen where all the icons are too small. They buuilt ipad ios for the larger tablets. Watch a video called "goodbye ipad mini 6 reasons why" from a tech reviewer. A shame because its the only small tablet with these specs.

    Apple Warranty is tops!
    The Apple product warranty saved the day! Unfortunately, my iPad mini stopped working after only 4 days---blue lines across the screen and no functions at all. I had already transferred my personal information to the new ipad, so I had to take it to the Apple Store to erase/remove my personal information from the iPad. They (Apple) then replaced the non-functional iPad with a new one.

    Good iPad
    I like my new mini iPad but there is definitely a learning curve to adjusting to it. I replaced a very old mini pad which had NOTHING wrong with it except Apple no longer updates it. Little by little I was not able to use certain apps. I did a search and Walmart was the least expensive buy for this product. It arrived in perfect condition but I did have to sign for it. This was ok with me as although I've never had any delivered product stolen from my property, there's always a 1st time.

    iPad mini
    I'm not familiar with reviews. I don't have a home computer so this IPad mini is our computer. It does anything I need to do on a computer. A good deal too! Would recommend it any day.

    Loving it!
    Took me a couple of weeks to make this purchase because I was originally debating on whether I wanted the iPad Air or this one here. Both very much alike but different in size. But after doing alot of research I decided this one would be the best at least for me. I like that its small, I can carry it with me in my purse and I loved the color. Prior to this one I owned the iPad mini 4, 64gb. I also wanted one with alot of memory. Did I mention I got it on sale? That was even better! I cant say anything negative about it but I can say I'm very happy with my purchase. I just purchased an Apple Pencil so I'm excited to try that out.

    Love it
    I bought Samsung tablet a few months ago and was dismayed by its low resolution. On top of that i realized I would have to spend quite a bit of money on apps that I already purchased for my iphone, and I was not able to read magazines that came with apple news plus subscription. This made me spend 4x as much on ipad mini, and I don't regret it. It's slim, light, amazing resolution, fast play of Civ VI, and magazines much more readable than on iphone.

    Overall a great buy at a great value
    I overall like the ipad mini 6th generation. It took some getting used to not having a home button. I had not had a ipad mini or an ipad period since 2015. It was a little bit of adjustment from going from an android back to an ipad. I had to look up how to close apps on the web. It was different on the old ipad 3 mini and 4 mini ios systems. But if I can pick it up anyone can. I pretty much learned how to work Windows 11 within a few days. At least apple try's to make it as user friendly as possible. Its when they like to throw in too many unneeded features. Multitasking on a tablet in my opinion is really not needed if all you are doing is using it for facebook or web browsing. Now if you are using this as your main device source then that is a different story. I prefer a good old desktop with lots of power for that though. Now when apple can boast a 6 to 12 core AMD cpu with great graphics a 1 TB SSD drive, 32GB RAM and not charge me $5000 for it then we will talk. Computer Parts have gone up so ridiculous its not funny. I know there's the IPAD Pro but from reviews its bulky and pricy. When the pricing goes down for it and they redesign it into a slimer version then I might consider it. for now I'm good with 256GB model. At least I can stream my 200 digital movie collection. Had to order a otterbox from otterbox themselves because Walmart didn't have them nor did other retail sites, plus a headphone to usb c adapter. I also had to order a screen protector because otterbox makes two defender cases now. One doesn't have the built in screen protector and its priced high. I was not pleased with this. The older cases had the screen protectors built in. Plus the quality of otterbox feels cheaper now days then it did. now days what doesn't. Overall I am pleased with my new ipad mini and would recommend to others. Just be aware if you are going to get an ipad mini or any ipad for that matter invest in a good case. Its the smart thing to do.

    great product, speedy delivery
    The iPad Mini 6 (2021, 256GB) is a terrific product. I bought it to replace my 6 year old iPad Mini 3, which has become very slow and has an old version of iOS. The Mini 6 is, predictably, very fast, with a terrific display. I don't really need to extol its virtues. I want to add that my new iPad was delivered ridiculously quickly. I ordered it on a Saturday afternoon, and it was delivered Sunday morning. I did not expect that! It probably helps that I live in the NYC metro area.
