The iPad Mini 2021 is not at all like older iPad minis and you’ll shortly know why. It was introduced by Apple on September 2021. This tablet runs on the hefty A15 chip and now has a bigger display. iPad mini 6 is easier to use than bigger iPads. Although, it runs the same software (now iPadOS 15.0.1) and has the same capabilities.

Overview
As mentioned, the iPad mini 6 marks a change in focus for Apple’s small-screen tablet, going from entry-level tablet to premium powerhouse, with a redesign to match. The iPad mini has been a long-time favorite among fans, and after a period devoid of meaningful updates, the small-screen tablet has finally got the love and attention it deserves. Sporting a reinvigorated design similar to that of the rest of the premium iPad collection, and performance to match, the sixth-gen iPad mini is better looking and more capable than ever. Differences in this version: You lose that home button, but you have to let it go because it improves the bezel of the screen!
Plus, the ability to carry it around in a large pocket is also a big win for portability.

Influence of iPad mini 6 on Everyday stuffs to Make our Life Better
1. Note Taking
2. Art
The display is laminated so there’s no gap between the pen tip and the line on the screen. There’s no parallax, no misalignment. As mentioned, Apple Pencil tracking is extremely accurate. The Apple Pencil can snap to the side of the tablet for Bluetooth pairing and charging. You don’t have to worry about battery life since the Apple Pencil is always attached by the side.
From an Artist’s view; “Tilt and pressure sensitivity works great. Palm rejection is flawless with apps that allow only pen input for drawing.”
3. Gaming
The iPad Mini 6 is packed with gaming-focused hardware and software features. These are surely going to be difficult to beat. Tablets are still finding their feet in a handheld world dominated by the Nintendo Switch, mobile phone and others. It provides you with a great grip.
iPadOS 15 with a new gamepad overlay open to use by any game developer using the App Store. This feature will have two control zones placed along the horizontal edge of the screen. Apple building such a feature directly into its OS means things are starting to get serious.
4. Netflix
