After two years of waiting, we already have with us the iPad mini (2021) 6th generation, Apple’s smallest tablet for users who want a compact and handy device. This review, as it happened with the fourth generation Air a few months ago, debuts a new almost borderless design that resembles the Pro models.
The iPad mini (2021) has been renewed with a 8.3 “Liquid Retina IPS LCD display with reduced frames that stands out for its resolution of 2,266 x 1,488 pixels and brightness of 500 nits. It integrates the Apple A15 Bionic processor to give life to the iPadOS 15 operating system, and it has a USB-C connector to recharge its battery with the included 20W power adapter.
This tablet also is compatible with the second generation Apple Pencil, the stylus that recharges magnetically on the side of the tablet. On the power / lock button it has the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and it can be connected to Wi-Fi 6 networks. The 12 MP front camera is wide angle for quality video calls.
With a price that starts at 549 euros for the 64 GB Wi-Fi version (there are more configurations, going through 256 GB and with Cellular 5G connectivity, as well as several colors to choose from), it is convenient to protect the sixth generation iPad mini with a cover to prevent damage from drops, bumps or scratches. In this post we have selected a few covers to accompany it.
