Apple iPad Mini (6th generation)
Apple’s smallest tablet still leads the field.
The smallest model in the iPad line has new features under the hood for 2021, including support for Apple Pencil (2nd generation).
The 6th generation Apple iPad Mini may arrive in 2021, but it was a very powerful tablet back then and will continue to be a great choice in 2024. It was one of the first iPads to adopt Apple’s new design language, with a metal build and smaller bezels. Of course, it has an 8.3-inch display with a resolution of 2,266 x 1,488, making it portable. The display is not only sharp but also capable of outputting DCI-P3 color gamut, giving it great performance. Not only does it have a great screen, but it also supports 2nd generation Apple Pencil and USB-C Apple Pencil, making it perfect for creative work.
The new 7th generation iPad Mini has an upgraded Apple A17 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM, but the 2021 model still packs quite a punch. It will be powered by Apple A15 Bionic and 4GB of RAM. While the new iPad Mini should offer a significant performance boost, the 6th generation iPad Mini is still plenty powerful, and we never had any issues when testing demanding games.

Battery life is very long, around 10 hours of normal use. Even when I squeezed in more intensive tasks and games, I was able to get it to last around 7 hours.
