Why Apple’s iPad Mini 6 (2021) is a recommendable tiny tablet to buy
The iPad Mini 6 (review) was launched at the end of 2021, but it doesn’t make it a slouch despite being on the scene for quite a while now. It has a sleek build in an aluminum chassis that is comparably more premium than many of its competitors. Likewise, it has a shrank form factor that makes it very portable and can be held with one hand when you’re reading e-books.
Apple’s iPad Mini 6 features an 8.3-inch IPS LCD screen, which is protected by a scratch-resistant coating and more than sharp for its size with a near 2K resolution and 500 nits of typical brightness. Both the capable Apple Pencil 2 and new Pencil USB-C styluses are compatible with the tablet as well. It also boasts stereo speakers that produce loud and crisp sound, suitable when you’re streaming videos.
When it comes to performance, the Apple A15 powers the iPad Mini 6. The chip can easily handle multitasking and running graphics-intensive apps and games. Plus, it draws power efficiently which also extends the tablet’s battery life for more than a couple of days. Charging it more versatile, thanks to the inclusion of a USB-C 3.1 port, meaning you can use the iPhone 15’s cable to charge or vice versa.
