Our take on the Apple iPad Mini, 6th Gen, 8.3-inch, (2021) Wi-FI, 64GB

The iPad Mini 6 is Apple's smallest tablet, with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina screen, the A15 Bionic chip and 64GB of storage. It is light at about 10.3 oz and fits in one hand, which makes it the pick for reading, notes and travel over the bigger iPad Air and iPad. Owners praise the size and speed but often flag the 64GB base storage and the price of accessories. It suits people who want a small, fast tablet more than a laptop replacement.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad Mini 6 good for note-taking?
Yes. It works with the second-generation Apple Pencil, and the size suits handheld writing. The Pencil is sold separately.
How does it compare with the iPad Air?
The Mini is smaller and lighter and uses the same A15 chip family. The Air has a larger screen and a keyboard case option, which suits desk work better.
Is 64GB enough?
For reading, streaming and light apps, yes. If you store photos, games or offline video, the 256GB model is the safer choice.
Does it have a headphone jack?
No. It uses USB-C, so wired headphones need a USB-C adapter or USB-C headphones.
Can it replace a laptop?
For email, browsing and notes, mostly yes. For heavy multitasking or desktop software, a larger iPad or a laptop is better.

The iPad Mini, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The Pencil and any keyboard case are separate.
