    I had the Mini 6 for over a year and it’s undoubtedly the best iPad. I’m on an 11” Pro M2 now only because I needed more space for written notes and typing. Otherwise I’d prefer the Mini any day.

    I've been an iPad mini defender basically since 6th gen started, I couldn't image using a bigger ipad infact like you said i feel like i'd use it less. I am surprised that you didn't mention the battery life as a drawback, to me that is one of the biggest drawbacks from the small form factor.

      Actually, I really have trouble leaving it down.

I couldn't get behind the mini... but I am glad it exists, it really fills a sweet spot for a lot of people.

    I purchased the Mini 5 in 2019, ever since then I’ve been hooked on the Mini iPads. Now I carry my year old Mini 6 with me almost everywhere, it’s almost as easy to carry as a large phone but much more useful with iPad OS and the larger screen

    I basically got my iPad mini 6 because I missed my Galaxy Note 10+. I take my iPad to church and will have the Bible open on one side while I have notes open on the other side. I also have a paperlike screen protector on it because it makes things look and feel more natural to me. I also love browsing the web and reading on it. When I’m home or stationary for a while, I always reach for my iPad. It’s a solid little device.

    The iPad mini 6 is a perfect example of being a bigger phone for social and media experience and still be portable enough as an on-the-go productivity and casual use device without the bulk. Still I can't use that thing to replace my laptop as it's much better at productivity than any iPad can be.

    I had a iPad Mni 5 and looked at the 6 but decided that the iPad Pro 11 M1 was a better use case. While I do the majority of my day to day on my M2 MacBook Air the Pro is still great and honestly overkill for me. What I do love about the mini is its use case as a display for Drones. It's the perfect size for the job.

Also, I use an iPad Air as basically my main computer (there’s very little I will actually do on my computer now) and I love it. It can make tasks a bit more inconvenient, but there’s a charm and fun aspect of it that keeps me coming back. Plus the portability, the pencil… it really is my favorite tech product right now (and a great companion to my iPhone 13 Mini)

    The mini is my fav tablet for so many reasons. Its kind of a perfect stop gap between a large tablet/laptop and my phone. Often times I'm doing something on my phone and use my mini to multi task and since it's small, it's easier to lug around with me. On top of that the form factor is perfect for handheld gaming and it also doesn't take up a lot of desk space when I'm using it for work, etc. It's a nifty little device and ipad OS works really well on it. I had an ipad pro and ended up selling it because i just didn't use it and it was too large. Having the mini really changed how i use my devices now. especially the 5G model. Also it's my only apple device so it's nice to have access to apple software when i need it

    I find the iPad mini 6 is damn near perfect for comfort of content consumption. I wish the screen were a bit brighter though. When I travel it's definitely a solid little device and it looks great and it's nice that I don't have to use the first gen Apple Pencil. It truly is one of the closer to perfect devices that Apple has ever made. When I got my Fold3 I definitely found myself using that more but ultimately the camera on that phone is what led to me getting a different phone which made me go back to carrying a phone and the iPad mini.

    I had it and it was ok. The mini definitely has potential to win my heart once it gets 120hz and a better display. I sold it to a friend 3 months ago. But for now I still prefer my M2 iPad Pro 12.9in. And trust me I use my iPad more than my M2 MacBook Pro and iPhone. The iPad is my “fun” device, a device I enjoy consuming content on. As a college student with no cable or TV I rely heavily on my streaming services and the iPad in my case is perfect for that.

    Yeah the “bought an iPad to leave it in a drawer” thing definitely applies to me. I use my phone for everything, and a laptop for everything else. There’s nothing an iPad can really do for me that justifies its existence. The Mini seems like a good solution to this….. but a “Max” sized phone basically accomplishes the same thing for me, personally.
    Edit: What app are you using for Manga?

    Apple still has not made a 2 in 1 convertible laptop. Foldable kinda fits into that ethos of toaster-refrigerator that the company loves to hate. If they make a foldable, it would be an iPad-ish device rather than an iPhone replacement

    If Apple were to launch a foldable in the near future, I can see them killing the mini on the same day

    The only thing Apple need to do is to create an iPad mini pro. A 120 hz screen will be perfect

    I think tablets are best used for gaming and media consumption.
