Apple iPad mini 6th Gen (Wi-Fi Only) 64, 256 GB Specs

Note that this Wi-Fi Only model does not support cellular connectivity or A-GPS.

The iPad mini 6th Gen (Wi-Fi Only) features a fully-laminated, antireflective 8.3″ LED-backlit 2266×1488 “Liquid Retina” display (326 ppi, 500 nits) surrounded by a thin black bezel and is packed in a thin case with rounded corners and flat sides. The back has four metallic color options — a charcoal “Space Gray”, pink, purple, and a warm gray “Starlight.”

This iPad mini is powered by a six-core Apple A15 Bionic processor, a five-core GPU, and a 16-core “Neural Engine”, has 4 GB of RAM, and is equipped with either 64 GB or 256 GB of flash storage. Other noteworthy features include a “Touch ID” authentication sensor built into the top button as well as support for the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (A2051, MU8F2AM/A) that conveniently charges via a magnetic connection on the side of the device. It has a front-mounted 12 megapixel “Ultra Wide” FaceTime HD camera with a 122-degree field of view that shoots up to 1080p video, supports cinematic video stabilization, and “Center Stage” to automatically track and zoom to keep subjects in frame. It also has a rear-mounted 12 megapixel camera that shoots up to 4K video with cinematic video stabilization.

In addition to a USB-C port, other connectivity includes 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) with HT80 with MIMO capability and Bluetooth 5.0. It has dual microphones and stereo speakers. Battery life is reportedly 10 hours of “surfing the web on Wi-Fi or watching video.”

Compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 6th Gen (Wi-Fi Only) — and its cellular-equipped brethren — are a dramatic improvement and have more in common with the higher-end iPad Air than its iPad mini forefathers. With the removal of the Home button and the smaller bezels, they are physically smaller, but have a larger display. They also have a more powerful and advanced architecture, better cameras, support more advanced external keyboards, use USB-C (instead of Lightning), and support the aforementioned more advanced Apple Pencil 2nd Gen and clever “Touch ID” sensor in the top button, too.
