Apple’s 6th generation iPad mini is one of the best tablets around. It features an 8.3-inch (2266 x 1488) display with True Tone, 500 nits of brightness and Apple Pencil (2nd generation) support. Its sleek aluminum exterior houses Apple’s A15 Bionic 6-core CPU, 5-core graphics and 64GB of storage. As we detail in our iPad mini 6 review, we love its compact size, speedy performance and sharp, bright display. We also find its battery life impressive — it lasted around 11 hours in the real world. The iPad mini earned an overall rating of 4 out of 5-stars from us alongside our Editor’s Choice award. During multitasking tests, the iPad mini 6’s performance never wavered. In one test, we launched 16 Google Chrome tabs, a YouTube video and navigated to multiple sites. Not once did the iPad mini 6 stutter or lag. For your connectivity needs, its USB-C port delivers data transferring speeds up to 5GBps. Meanwhile, Wi-Fi 6 ensures fast and reliable over-the-air connection speeds. At 0.7 pounds and 7.7 x 5.3 x 0.3-inches, the iPad mini 6 is slightly smaller and lighter than the iPad mini 6 (11 ounces and 8 x 5.3 x 0.2 inches). It’s much lighter and just as thin as the iPad Air (16 ounces, 9.8 x 6.8 x 0.2 inches). The iPad mini is a wise choice if you’re shopping around for a new tablet for holiday gift for someone special.
