Apple claims up to 10 hours of web browsing or watching video on the Wi-Fi model and nine on the 5G variant.

Sadly, battery life struggled with all that activity. I managed to squeeze about five hours out of it, so almost a full workday. Depending on my schedule, I also used the Mini to jump on Zoom calls with colleagues. Since I split my time between my apartment in New York City and my parent's home in the suburbs, it's nice to always have a smol external monitor on hand. The latter is one of my favorite uses for the Mini. It's worth pointing out that the Mini did heat up when I ran several apps over a short period of time, though not alarmingly so.Įvery morning, I used the iPad Mini to create To-Do lists in the Notes app and then as a second monitor to my MacBook with Sidecar the rest of the day.

And I had zero hiccups editing photos in Lightroom while watching a movie on Netflix using picture-in-picture mode. My day-to-day workflow didn't necessarily push the boundaries of horsepower, but common tasks like sending emails and texts, scrolling through social media, and FaceTiming-even in split-screen view-all worked without a hitch.

Unlike Apple's new ninth-generation iPad, which uses an A13 chip, the iPad Mini packs the same A15 processor included in the new iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models. Walking down the street while reading an ebook in broad daylight, the text was plenty legible on max brightness. Thankfully, as this tablet is designed to be used on the go, its Liquid Retina display manages to get bright enough to see outdoors. I had no problem squeezing it next to my laptop on my small desk crammed with tchotchkes, beverages, and notebooks. It's small enough to throw into most bags or freely carry around with you.

With both hands, it feels like I'm using a giant iPhone, specifically when typing messages or emails in portrait orientation. There's an 8.3-inch display here, which is larger than the 7.9-inch iPad Mini 5, but Apple managed to keep the tablet's body almost exactly the same. The smaller build makes it so much easier to use one-handed than the 11-inch display on the Air or the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, especially if your hands are super small like mine. From the (almost) edge-to-edge screen, Touch ID integrated into the top power button, and the USB-C port, it's obvious where its inspiration came from. To engineer the iPad Mini, Apple pointed a shrink ray at last year's iPad Air. It has the potential to do anything and everything, but it's probably not going to replace your phone, laptop, heck, even your notebook just yet. I strongly suggest evaluating how this Mini will fit into your life before it ends up as yet another screen in your household.

That's not to say the sixth-generation iPad Mini isn't excellent-it is-but for $499, it’s more expensive than any Mini that came before. The iPad Mini stayed on my desk as a backup screen. When hopping on a Zoom call, I opened my MacBook Pro. To binge-watch New Girl, I grabbed my remote.

When I needed to jot down some notes, I reached for my Sailor Moon Moleskin and ballpoint pen. Instead of opening an ebook, I grabbed a paperback from my bookshelf. Perhaps partly because we're all still stuck in pandemic land. Then the love bomb wore off, and it didn't take long for reality to set in. It comes in a few fun colors! It looks modern with slim borders around the screen, it has a USB-C charging port, and it's petite! Apple took its sweet time with proper upgrades to its smallest slate, but these improvements feel well worth the wait. It's easy to feel enamored with the thing. A cloud formed above my head, and I began to imagine all the wonderful adventures ahead with this tiny tablet: reading all of my ebooks, writing to-do lists with the second-gen Apple Pencil, streaming Ted Lasso (again), and FaceTiming friends while scrolling through social media-whenever, wherever I want. When Apple’s new iPad Mini came out of the box, it was love at first sight.
