iPad mini 6 pre-order deals
Apple’s 6th generation iPad mini replaces the 2019 iPad mini 5, which is one of the fastest mobile devices around. The iPad mini 6 brings tons of upgrades to the series — an all new-design, larger display, faster processor and enhanced cameras. The base model iPad mini 6 packs 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 and 5-core graphics. On the front of the iPad mini 6, there’s a 12MP ultra wide front camera with Center Stage automatic panning. This lens function keeps users in view as they move around and zooms out when others join in. The iPad mini6’s 12MP back camera features Focus Pixels and True Tone flash to capture sharp vivid images in low light. 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 10 ounces and 7.6 x 5.6 x 0.2-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). In a nutshell, the new iPad mini is worth considering if you want a small, premium tablet with blazing fast performance.
