Trying to choose between iPad mini 6 vs iPad mini 5? We're help you work out which is the best buy for you in this comparison of Apple's latest mini tablets. The iPad mini may be small, but it offers plenty of power – more than the basic iPad. That makes it a brilliant option for those looking for a highly portable device for working, sketching and taking notes on the go – even while riding on a bus or train.

If you've decided that portability is the solution for you, the next decision is which model to go for (and you'll then need to decide on specs). One aspect that might make the difference for you is price, since you're more likely to find a discount on the 2019 iPad mini 5 than the 2021 iPad mini 6. But the newer iPad has a couple of advantages that will make it worth the extra expense for some people.
