I'm a pilot with 20/10 and 20/20 vision. I have a Mini 6 and iPad Pro 12" with Promotion (and iPhone 13 Pro Max). I hardly ever use my Pro anymore, and I don't use my Mini thinking "if this was only 120hz!" I don't notice it.
Great iPad, great deal, do buy it!
To anyone who would get one but for the jelly scroll issue, I’d suggest buying it from a retailer with a solid no questions asked return policy. Live with the device for a week and definitely return it if the jelly scroll bugs you.
But lots of folks have a mini6 and js isn’t an issue, we love having essentially an iPad Air in a smaller form factor.
Device is "fine" to me. Shouldn't have raised the base price by 25% ($399 to $499), nor should they have changed the panel orientation (subjective, but that's my opinion).
Very much a lateral move vs pure upgrade depending upon how one uses their Mini and what for.
I don't think anyone is going wrong with a mini 6 if they are ok with the tradeoffs Apple made.
I'm personally riding my 5 until I see what a 7 might look like.
People say things like "faster processor!" -- I can tell you that I've felt my Mini 5 was slow, exactly "zero" times, so that sort of update rationale is lost on me, particularly for a device like the Mini.
