After months of speculation, Apple finally took off the wraps of the very good looking, very stylish, very beautiful iPad Mini — now in its 6th generation. And I have to say that had I not recently bought the 4th generation iPad Air, I would have placed my order for the new Mini already.

This little thing of beauty truly is stunning and maybe I’m just being biased because I’m an Apple fan but it really is.

I wrote an article recently about how much I’ve loved my iPad Air and this new Mini is basically a scaled down version of it. Aside from the volume buttons being moved to the top side (same side as the lock button), it literally looks the same — but smaller.

It no longer has the much-loved but very outdated home button and because of that, it now has the all-screen design of the current iPad Air and iPad Pro models.

Like I said, stunning.

That being said, Apple did just release the 5th generation iPad Mini 2 years ago and gave it some pretty decent upgrade from the 4th generation Mini. And if you already have one (or planning to get one because you can still buy them from authorised dealers), do you then get the new Mini instead?
