Finally! I can't believe they didn't cheap out on it. A15, new cameras and all. Buying this instead of the iPhone 13. I'll keep my 12 and wait for the 14. First time in many years I haven't upgraded to the new iPhone.
Got a tip for us?

iPad mini Where is the iPad Mini 6?

The correct answer is both.
imo the secret star of the show. not gonna buy it, because i'm owning an 11"ipp, but the compact design paired with the design language looks really nice.
I don't think I want a black one, but none of the other colors appeal to me... I'll probably pick on up once I can see the colors in the store.
On the bright side, not only did they keep touch ID, but it's 293g, down from 300.5g, so 7.5 grams lighter. That'll make it 7.5g nicer for reading with!

I agree on the colors - across the board (save for the Sierra Blue iPhone Pro) Apple really dropped the ball with colors this year. Starlight is way to champagne, and no silver option seems odd.
? Mom refused a Mini will stick with her Air, so I ordered a Starlight 256gb WiFi Mini. She might change her mind once she tries mine. If she does, I’ll get a Pink 256 for myself.
I love my Air 4, but not the Bursitis. Fingers crossed the weight difference will nix that.
I’ll do a trade in of my Air and older iPads once all is good.

Yeah I was surprised they didn't mention it. And it is 0.8 cm shorter, same width, 0.2mm thicker. Very nice indeed.
Almost certainly stayed about the same width and got taller given the dimension changes (so, yes).
Edit: Just checked. Ratio on Mini 5 was 1.333. Ratio on Mini 6 is 1.523.
Yes, the display is taller but (about 0.5cm) narrower in portrait.
I think it will continue to use the 2048x1536 app but letterboxed, unless the app supports dynamic scaling or is updated to add support for the new resolution.
Apparently so. I just checked the website and couldn’t find a resolution match with any of the bigger iPads. I guess the mini will finally have its own optimized apps (letterboxed until then). But interestingly it still retains its 326 ppi, the highest of all the iPads, which I thought was only a byproduct of Apple wanting to just use shrunken 9.7” apps. But I guess that nice perk is here to stay.
Actually, given the new resolution is 2266x1488 (the display is marginally narrower in portrait), it won't be able to natively display a full 2048x1536 app - I guess it will have to scale?
