Apple removed the home button which feels a bit awkward, to expand the screen size of the iPad Mini from 7.9 to 8.3 inches. This is the biggest size compared to all the previous iPad Mini.
The improved design along with flat edges and narrow borders makes it comfortable to hold in one hand even for longer periods of time. It is really thin and light, which means you can carry it wherever you go.
And new landscape stereo speakers can also be seen on iPad Mini 6 which is just another great addition to this iPad’s design.
Apple iPad Mini 6 comes up with a stunning look and the best part about its design is that it doesn’t even take so much room when you place it in your purse or bag.
This new flagship device comes in four gorgeous colors- pink, starlight, purple, and space gray.
Performance
The iPad Mini 6 is powered by an A15 Bionic chip, Apple’s latest chipset, and the same one that powers the iPhone 13 Pro. Its six-core CPU which brings up to 40% faster performance and five-core graphics allows the iPad Mini to run incredibly fast. And the Neural engine, for powerful machine learning applications, also improves dramatically on the new mini, with performance up to two times that of prior versions. You can watch movies, surf the web or play intensive graphics games with the iPad Mini 6 without any lag. Whether you are a casual user or a heavy user, this iPad will not disappoint you at all. It is the fastest of its kind.
With iPadOS 15, the iPad mini becomes even more powerful. Some of its features include a Live Text feature that supercharges your camera app and photos like translating text from photos into seven different languages.
The excitement doesn’t stop there because it now supports 5G. It is the first of its kind to support 5G. 5G allows iPad mini 6 to have faster internet speeds for smooth streaming and downloading.
USB-C

With Center Stage, the camera will follow you around and make sure you’re always visible. The view expands or zooms in when more people join or leave the call. This makes calls more engaging.
