A few days ago, an event took place that die-hard apple fans wait for all year. Specifically for us Apple prepared this year's first autumn ever Apple Event, which is traditionally the most important for this company. It is at this time that new products are introduced, led by the next generation of iPhones 13 and 13 ProThis year, however, in addition to Apple phones, we also saw the introduction of the iPad. mini (6th generation), alongside the classic iPad (9th generation) and Apple Watch Series 7. We are always looking at new products in our magazine - in this article we will look at a comparison of the iPad mini (6th generation) with its previous fifth generation.
As is customary with our comparisons, we'll start in the bowels of the models being compared. Brand new iPad mini (6th generation) also features the brand new A15 Bionic chip, which can also be found in this year's iPhones, among others. iPhonech 13 and 13 Pro. On the official comparison page Apple does not say how many cores this chip has, in any case, we know from this year's Apple phones that it is a six-core chip, which has four energy-saving cores and two performance ones. It might seem that the chip will be as powerful as in iPhonech 13, but the opposite is true. Apple decided to throttle the chip and reduce its clock frequency from 3.2 GHz to 2.93 GHz. iPad mini (5th generation) then has the A12 Bionic chip, which is also available, for example iPhone XS. This chip also has six cores, divided into two performance cores and four power cores. MaxThe maximum clock frequency is then 2.49 GHz. iPad mini (6th generation) has improved performance by an impressive 80% compared to the previous generation.
When presenting virtually any product Apple does not state how much RAM it has. So we always have to wait a few hours or days for this information to appear from reliable sources. Now we know that the RAM in the iPad mini (6th generation) has a capacity of 4 GB, iPad mini (5th generation) has 3 GB of RAM. Both devices have biometric protection Touch ID, but it is processed in a different way. While with the iPad mini (5th generation) is Touch ID located in the home button, both on the iPad mini (6th generation) it can be found in the top power button, similar to the latest iPad AirWe would like to have a home button on the iPad. mini (6th generation) were searched in vain, mainly due to the reduction in bezels around the display. The new iPad mini (6th generation) also supports 5G in its Wi-Fi + Cellular version, while the previous generation can "only" LTE. As for SIM cards, both devices have a physical slot for nanoSIM, but there is also an eSIM.
Battery and charging
Besides that Apple Just as Apple doesn't mention the RAM capacity when introducing its products, it also doesn't boast about the battery capacity. The same was true when introducing the new iPad. mini (6th generation). However, we already know that the battery capacity of the new generation iPad mini is 5078 mAh, while the previous generation offered a slightly larger battery with a capacity of 5124 mAh. Included in the packaging of both iPads mini we find the power adapter, along with the charging cable. For the iPad mini (6th generation) you will find a USB-C – USB-C cable, for the older generation you will find a USB-C cable in the package Lightning – USB cable. Neither tablet supports wireless charging or reverse charging.

Both iPads are made of aluminum, but there have been huge changes in terms of overall design. iPad mini (6th generation) is newly rounded and has sharp edges, making it perfectly aligned with the other, already redesigned iPads. iPad mini (5th generation) has the original design, i.e. a little more square and the edges are rounded. As mentioned above, the bezels around the display have been reduced. For the iPad mini (6th generation) the home button has been removed. On the top of this new generation there is a power button with a built-in Touch ID, on the right, then the volume buttons were placed on the left. The volume buttons were placed on the left side of the device in the previous generation. As for theonewhich, so Apple koneespecially for iPad mini (6th generation) came with USB-C, the previous model has LightningOn the back of the device we find the camera, which is on the iPad. mini (6th generation) larger and sticks out, while the iPad mini The previous generation is flush with the body, but is smaller and of lower quality.

I already hinted above that iPad mini (6th generation) will offer a better camera. Specifically, it is a 12 Mpx camera with an aperture number of f/1.8, up to 5x digital zoom, a four-diode True Tone lightning and support Smart HDR 3 for photos. Fifth generation iPad mini then offers an 8 Mpx camera with an aperture number of f/2.4 and up to 5x digital zoom. It does not have any LED diode for lighting when taking pictures, it only supports Auto HDR for photos. As for video recording, the sixth generation can record up to 4K at 60 FPS, while the fifth generation can only handle 1080p video at maxat least 30 FPS. iPad mini (6th generation) then offers extended dynamic range for video at up to 30 FPS, along with the ability to record slow-motion video in 1080p resolution at up to 240 FPS, while the previous generation only offers 720p resolution at 120 FPS.
