Score the best price yet on Apple’s cellular iPad mini

With the sixth-generation model, the iPad mini got a complete design overhaul. The device now has an edge-to-edge Liquid Retina display, similar to those found on the iPad Air 4 and latest iPad Pro models, and its screen size has increased to 8.3 inches without the overall footprint getting any bigger.

Gone are the ‘forehead and chin’ bezels, replaced by an all-screen design and Touch ID built into the top button. The device has also gained support for Apple’s more advanced Apple Pencil 2 for note-taking and sketching.

It’s just as significant an upgrade on the inside, too, with the jump to Apple’s A15 Bionic chip. The new system-on-chip allows for 40% faster raw CPU performance and an 80% boost to GPU performance compared to the previous-gen iPad mini. iPad mini 6 also has USB-C connectivity and 5G support in the cellular models making it the best iPad to use on the go no matter how heavy your workload is.
