After the release of the updated iPad mini 6, many users seriously thought about purchasing the gadget. Some are even considering the tablet as an iPhone replacement.
Certain features and capabilities may still allow you to use the iPad mini 6 as a smartphone. Now we’ll look at them – precisely from the angle of alternatives to the iPhone.
On topic: detailed review of the iPad mini 6
Which iPad mini model is better to buy?
A significant drawback in the iPad mini 6 lineup is the lack of a middle version of the tablet. The minimum memory capacity of 64 GB is not enough for everyone. Although the iPad mini will not be so loaded with photos and filmed videos, games, music, or TV series downloaded for viewing will take up space on the drive.
It turns out that for normal operation you will have to choose the older model with 256 GB.
In addition to the amount of memory, you should also remember about the network connection. An iPad mini without a modem will not turn into a large iPhone, but rather into an enlarged iPod Touch. Distributing the Internet from a smartphone, which we are trying to get rid of, is also not an option.
A model with a cellular communication module is required.
As a result, you will have to choose between the iPad mini 64 GB + Cellular and the iPad mini 256 GB + Cellular. In the first case, you will receive an extremely small drive that will have to be cleaned regularly for new content, and in the second you will pay a considerable 76,000 rubles .
So, to use an iPad instead of an iPhone, you need to choose a model that costs from 62,000 rubles , but it is better to take the top configuration.
