Take it from someone who sat in a hospital bed with really bad Wi-Fi – having a connection option beyond just Wi-Fi comes in handy when you absolutely need it. Thanks to an outstanding promo where Apple will offer you $200 to buy and activate the cellular version of the iPad Mini, you basically get it for almost the same price as the regular Wi-Fi version and this one contains all the 5G goodies you’d want from a connected tablet.

Simply pull it out, open up a spreadsheet, presentation and do most things you’d do with the larger iPad Pro, all in a smaller, more portable form factor. Suddenly, a salesperson can have a pocketable device that has all the power of a productivity champion and doesn’t need anything else. The iPad Pro isn’t the type of device that you can carry in your pocket – the iPad Mini 6 is definitely that device. What the Apple A15 allows Apple to do, however, is create the ultimate portable productivity powerhouse. The A15 can stand against any flagship Android smartphone processor, let alone the traditionally lower-specification processors used in the entry and mid-level Android tablets. Flagship performance at an incredible price, and this is very much a flagship processor that’s better than anything else at this price. Where the iPad Mini 6 is not as good as the iPad Pro, yet still incredibly impressive in its own right, is in the processor: it’s powered by the same Apple A15 processor found in the new iPhone 13 range. At least now those photos won't suck anymore. You won’t be buying the iPad Mini 6 for the camera, but if you happen to believe a big screen equals a better camera, this starts to go a long way to delivering on that experience.

Similarly, video recording is pretty impressive, supporting up to 4k 60fps, 1080p 240fps and with gyro-based electronic image stabilization. We’ve all been to a wedding where someone stands up with a giant iPad to take photos – the cameras themselves aren’t great but the iPad Mini 6 goes a decent way to improve this. Many people – like my late father – believe that a device with a bigger screen like the iPad must mean that it has a better camera. The camera bump is larger which is to be expected from the new 12MP single wide-angle camera with f/1.8 aperture and autofocus. It’s much lighter and more pleasant than the iPad Pro, and there’s a big difference in the joy of using the iPad Mini vs the iPad Pro. The design feels very 2021-esque for Apple, incorporating the same glass front and aluminum back and frame found on the new iPhone range.
