So I sold my mini 5 for 3 bills and decided to give the 6 another go thinking maybe I was too reactionary. This time 256gb starlight no cellular. I was almost just going to go 64 go but glad I didn’t. Spent some time tweaking the screen increasing the size of the icons and text, adjusting white point balance I never really. Saw the jelly roll. Have to say this screen looks ok now. I hope the next mini gets a better panel but this is fine..

Got a moko gold case and have to say it fits the starlight perfectly

Nice! Looks like a great setup. Should provide years of use! That's a great form factor. I have an iPad 11 Pro and I really would like something smaller - we'll have to see what the iPad mini 7 brings!

I went from the iPad Pro 11 to the mini 6 and I've found myself using it a lot more. Now maybe that's just because it is new, but I really like the size.

That Moko case looks to have some texture to the cover - does it? Where did you get that one? It's nice looking.

Yep, physically smaller thsan the 5, but more screen real estate.

Got it. Thanks for the link - it didn't show up on my Amazon search for some reason.

I love mine—Starlight 256GB/5G. For me the “jelly scroll” is very odd. I almost never notice it when I’m using the iPad mini but I can see it at will. It’s like those optical illusions where you have to look at something a certain way for a few seconds to perceive it.

Same Mini 6 here and same on the jelly scroll - it is there but I have to make a willful effort to notice it (thankfully). I do recognize that it's a major problem for some.

Bit of weirdness on mine and I’m wondering if I should send it back. I plugged it into a 30000 power bank and it didn’t charge stayed at 40%. Shut it off next day could not get it to power up. Plugged in the adapter. Still no power up, gave it a few minutes and it came up. Very odd charging it now to make sure it charges full. But wondering what could have happened
