Yep, the iPad Mini 6 does work with the Apple Pencil 2. This is pretty handy if you like sketching or jotting down notes on your iPad. The pencil attaches magnetically to the side for easy pairing and charging, so it's really convenient.

There's been some chatter about this thing called 'jelly scrolling' though, where one side of the screen refreshes differently from the other, especially noticeable in portrait mode. Apple says it's normal for LCD screens, but some folks find it a bit more obvious on the iPad Mini 6. According to our research, not everyone notices it, and switching to landscape or not scrolling too frantically might help.

Lots of people still really like the iPad Mini 6 despite this quirk. If using it for loads of reading or scrolling in portrait mode is your thing, you might want to check it out in person to see if the jelly scrolling bothers you.

But don't let that overshadow its strengths—especially if you're excited about the Apple Pencil 2. It's great for artists and note-takers.

All in all, the iPad Mini 6 combines good performance and portability, along with the bonus of Apple Pencil 2 support that really adds to what you can do with it.
