Housing and appearance
iPad mini 6 features a more progressive display with thin bezels inspired by the latest iPad Pro and latest generation iPad Air. The enlarged screen is due to the reduction of the frame and the rejection of the Home button. With the new solution, the tablet looks much more modern. The weight of the new device is 297 grams. The width of the device remained the same, but the thickness increased slightly. The dimensions of the new generation case are 195,4 x 134,8 x 6,3 mm.

Some will find the new format more convenient, while others will find it the other way around. Four unique color schemes allow you to choose the most suitable model.

The device is compatible with the second generation Apple Pencil.
