IPad mini (6th generation)

The 6th-generation iPad mini, also referred to as the iPad mini 6, is a small tablet computer that was announced by Apple in a special event on September 14, 2021.

Release
The 6th-generation iPad mini became available for pre-order on September 17, 2021, with the first units set to begin shipping on September 24. However, by the following day, supply constraints forced ship dates of subsequent orders to be pushed back into mid-October.

Features
This iPad mini was updated with a new external design that resembles a smaller version of the 4th generation iPad Air and includes a new ultra wide angle front camera that supports Center Stage. Like the 4th-generation Air, it features Touch ID and stereo speakers. However, the volume buttons have been repositioned and it lacks a Smart Connector found on all other iPad models.
