Carrier Upgrade to iPad mini 6, keep 2018 iPad Pro 11, or wait

I can't imagine doing anything like that on my mini 6.... I did get it to take notes at church, carry it sometimes when I am going shopping, especially if I know I might need to do some research on items.... and I use it every night to read on the kindle app.... so much better than my phone....

13 Max Pro
iPad mini 6 (and 5 not being used)
2 - 12.9" iPP (2018 & M1)
2018 Mac mini

14" M1 Pro MBP at least for 2 week trial.... LOL

Oh interesting. I’m starting to lean towards just keeping the 11 and waiting. Maybe I pick up a mini 6 for portability when a decent sale hits, but it sounds like the 11 is probably going to stay.

I’m not sure what you consider a decent sale but when I checked yesterday, Best Buy had $100 off all four configuratoons of the pink one. I didn’t check the other colors.

I have both, and I honestly don't like the mini 6. :/ The jelly-scrolling or stuttering animations is just a poor experience on a brand new iPad. I'm usually not too picky, but it bothers me and is unlike any other iOS device I've used. My iPhone 13 and 2018 iPP are super smooth.

If given the option, I would have returned my mini 6 right away.

This is also a testament to how well the 2018 iPP is holding up.

OP, switching to an iPad Mini 6 from a 2018 Pro is definitely not an “upgrade”.

You‘re literally downgrading into a device with a terrible screen, jelly scroll issues, and awful UI scaling which is such a worse experience than a 2018 Pro. Not to mention the latest charging shambles:

Apple Investigating iPad mini 6 Charging Issues After iPadOS 15.5 Update

Apple is investigating user reports that the iPad mini 6 may stop charging after being updated to iPadOS 15.5, according to a memo sent to service...

Do yourself a favour and steer clear from this awful device, if you want to upgrade, a new Pro iPad with M2 is just months away.

FYI the charging issue with the iPad Mini 6 was fixed in iOS 15.6.
