iPad mini 6

i used an iPad Mini 6 for 3 years and it was my favorite device, but once my phone severely lapped it in brightness under the hawai'i sun, it started to make me wonder why i'd use it over my phone anywhere but inside, or at home... which defeated the purpose of a super mobile tablet...

Apple: Just fix the software. I have an iPad Mini (6?) and it's clearly just such an orphaned product. [...] The on-screen keyboard takes up the majority of the screen when in landscape mode. In portrait mode, the "drawer" on the left side of the screen takes up so much space in apps like Maps/Flighty that it covers the location you're currently at. They've clearly given almost no thought into how the (already marginal) iPadOS renders on a smaller screen.

Clearly tapping a letter “taps” a different letter My iPad Mini 6 sometimes gets into this state, especially after deleting something, when tapping one of the keys in the lower right corner becomes completely impossible, it always registers as this different key (I don't have the iPad nearby to check which one), and it stays broken like this until I press a few other keys. It's incredibly frustrating and it's been there since day 1.

[...] I use these apps with an Ipad Mini 6, and suffer from freezes, latency, high power draw and crashes. [...]

[...] 😇✨ Even my iPad Mini 6 blows the Cintiq 16 out of the water, I really get it now. It's clunky, the screen is dim and not sharp. Can't imagine how the new Tandem OLED compares with its 1000+ nits. [...]

[...] My iphone 13 pro and ipad pro M1 and ipad mini 6 are a couple years old but still functional and not bloated with AI crap. I was vaguely thinking of maybe upgrading my Watch 7, but it's good enough and probably money better spent elsewhere.

Same thing happened to me with my iPad mini 6 during summer of nearly 2 to 3 years ago. The upper left-hand side of the screen cracked and broke off a little, but it still works even now. (just gotta make sure I don’t get it wet.😅) (And no…I still don’t have a screen protector for it yet.😓)

Bought my iPad Mini 6 for $225 + Apple Pencil 2 for $45 off of Facebook Marketplace during 4th of July. eBay go for around 350 and Apple Pencil separately for 45 - 70 bucks. I saved a ton of money on the iPad but the price of the Apple Pencil seems to be the minimum if you don’t count for shipping

Seems like Clip Studio Paint will slowly phase out new updates for older Apple devices like my iPad Mini 6, a stable, working device with a good A series chipset. [...] Optimize your damn software in turn.

[...] Software: ArtRage Vitae for iPad. I used my iPad Mini 6.

I have noticeable lag in my iPhone 13, my iPad Mini 6 (plus repeated storage issues), and my brand new MacBook Pro. This release is going to be looked upon a year from now as a premature blunder.

First Microsoft ruined a perfectly good laptop with constant bloated Windows updates. [...] My iPad Mini 6 suddenly has storage issues every other day since I installed iOS 26.2.

I really miss my earphone jack on my iPad mini 6. Whenever I want to listen, I can’t because the Bluetooth buds I have are no longer charged. So then I charge them and go on to other things, never getting back around to listening to what I originally intended.

i use one of the smallest iPads (ipad mini 6) and a adjustable stand for 99% of my work now. lack of space sucks but I would just use my phone or laptop to pull up references. maybe one day Ill go back to my 22 inch home tablet haha

What's the cheapest iPad you can get with an OLED screen? I use my iPhone 15 Pro Max over my iPad Mini 6 for media consumption just because I dislike the LCD now.

@support.bsky.team any reason why BlueSky App has different headers on my iPad Mini 6 than on my laptop? [...] I can't make the screen big enough to actually type on.I've expanded screen&turned iPad both ways. [...]

I have an iPad Mini 6. Perfect size for small cockpits. I use it for Foreflight mostly.

Hi, the app seems to be working well on both my of my Ipad mini 6's, under SW versions 15/17, and also OK on Win 10 pc, including animated gifs ..

I’ve only ever used my iPad Mini 6 for practice sketching digitally. Nothing else, so I can’t speak for any other tablets, sadly.

Good take! I've been using an iPad Mini 6 with the Razer Kishi Ultra and I absolutely love the combo, although it doesn't have quite the games library that Steam has. Still, I'm not much of a gamer so I've been happy enough!

Can't sketch like a normal person. 🙃 I should make this style a thing though, it's fun. Procreate sketch on my iPad Mini 6, my own WIP brushes.

Yep, I love my iPad Mini 6. It's excellent for reading books/comics and streaming, and of course very portable. I draw on it too, and it's so handy as an airplay stylus-enabled tablet for my MacBook – although I overall prefer drawing on my larger Tab S9 Ultra (and prefer Android in general).

Why are desktop pen displays so low in brightness? [...] Even my iPad Mini 6 with only 500 nit beats the hell out of my Wacom Cintiq 16. I should sell the Wacom toward getting the M4 iPad Pro with the insane 1000+nit brightness.

[...] Here’s a shot next to my iPad Mini 6. [...]

I went through the apps on my iPad mini 6 intending to share the must haves with a family member who brought the latest one and realised I only really use the stock apps for anything productive. Notes isn’t perfect but it’s just so good at what it does.

Awesome, I have 0 reason to upgrade my iPad mini 6, thanks Apple! I’ll use this for another several years probably

I own the iPad Mini 6, so I really look forward to see if the new upcoming Mini 7 will maybe have pencil hover with regular Pencil 2, or, shall we dream, rotation detection with the Pencil Pro. Those would be significant reasons to upgrade, as an artist coming from Wacom.

I’m trying to learn how to draw on an iPad Mini (6). Been using Procreate, which is pretty good for a drawing app that only costs $10 last I checked.

I own two iPad minis which is an iPad mini 5 (used for gaming) and an iPad mini 6 (used for professional and gaming needs). So yeah I basically have separate but it kinda sucks that the iPad mini 5 stopped at iOS 26 because it dropped support so what… 🤷

Bottom right: After 1 hour of frogging (rip it rip it) Bottom left: After 3 hours of frogging Top right: Sitting on my iPad mini - 6”x8” Top left: My 14” measuring bracelet doesn’t fit around it! All in the name of design - sometimes it’s painful! ingridknits saturdayshopgirldesigns frogging

This stems from the zine - I pushed my iPad mini 6 to its limits with the illustrations and that made me realise I actually outgrew what the mini can offer. Bittersweet moment in hindsight and i loved the experience, but it was a constant plea to my device not die on me bc of low ram and storage

The silly time-waster game I usually play on my phone is refusing to load on my iPhone 12 Mini, but luckily I got an iPad Mini 6 a few weeks ago and it does load on that... but it is HUGE, the graphics are so enormous it is breaking my brain

I'm mildly annoyed that a lot of the fancier tech pouch slings have enough width to fit a ipad mini 6 but not the ipad mini 5 [with a case and a pencil, mind] the samsung can be the daily driver and digital sketchbook, although I keep some fieldnotes and muji pens around too. less stuff to babysit
