be advised that it’s quite slow on an ipad if it doesn’t have an m1. it was faster on my iphone 14pro than on my ipad mini :|

The iPad Mini is quite old in terms of the SoC it shipped with.

Any recent iPad or iPhone has much better silicon , even if it’s not an M1.

mine has the A15 which was launched last year. and it still feels slow :(
Ah I forgot about the refresh for the 6th gen.

The difference in speed with your phone might be down to RAM? 6GB vs 4GB? I forget if the latest mini is LPDDR4 or 5 but it might be 5

Otherwise the A16 and the A15 aren’t that different, though the A16 does have a newer ANE ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A16?wprov=sfti1 ).
