If they would have left a bigger bezel at the bottom of the iPad mini 6 along with the Start button, and just decreased the other three bezel sides, then that would have been nice. But as is, I’m not tempted to get the new iPad mini 6, especially since my iPad mini 5 is still in great shape with a good battery. An ereader without a thumb rest is a deal breaker for me.
I’m planning to get one, I don’t think the smaller bezels will bother me for reading. I want to do some music/audio things and the USB-C is better for that (faster and better interface options than USB-over-Lightning).
