Apple iPad mini 6th gen (2021) review

Sort by:

5000mAh battery in a mini tablet??
Even smartphones have bigger battery.

No wonder it gives only 10hr each in web browsing & video playback.
Apple need to spend more and put bigger battery.
Their iPhone 13 pro Max is giving twice as much battery.

      Performance is leap and bounds ahead of the competition. However, the biggest question is how this horsepower is utilised by the limited os.

            If value for your money and a really nice high refresh screen are considerations, get one of the new Lenovo Android OLED pads.

              What do you mean by not being an "hdr/dolby vision" capable display? While it isn't one of the XDR displays, it has the same HDR capabilities as the 2021 M1 iPad Pro 11", which you have labelled as an HDR capable display on the spec sheet. Seems like you guys don't really use enough Apple products to know the difference?

                  I feel that the price is outrageous for a device this small, and no stylus included. But it's sad to see that the world accepts whatever Apple says. It's like "Apple makes the norms for the tech industry." But I'm not sad about this...Apple does make great devices, but, I guess you all get it...mixed feelings.

                    Hey Gsmarena, what about the M1 iPad Pros (2021)? It would be especially interesting to see the mini LED display review for the 12.9”.

                      The rear camera reports 29mm field of view and 3mm real focal length.
                      It’s likely have 0.9 μm pixels, which isn’t much at all.

                          Now bec someone post and cried about it ...its an disadvantage
                          Decades we were on 60hz panel with this "jelly effect" and nobody complained because we didnt had a lot of 120hz panels
                          Even my tab s7 oled at 60hz has this thing...its about how lines are refreshed at 60hz

                            The iPad Pro has rendered my pc useless (now sold). I am wondering if the iPad mini can replace my pro. I need to do lots of typing as well as other productivity like spreadsheets and for this reason I think the smaller screen will make it harder. But I like the idea of such a small device like the mini. It would make it easy to carry it around because it seems to be a lot smaller than the 11 inch iPad I have.
