5G support – but not the same as the iPhone 13 or the M1 iPad Pro
The iPad mini 6 is the second iPad to support a 5G connection, but you won’t be able to use the super-ultra-mega faster 5G that is promoted with the iPhone 13 and M1 iPad Pro because the new iPad mini doesn’t support the mmWave band. With 5G, you’ll get faster speeds than LTE but won’t get the multiple GigaBytes per second upload speeds possible with mmWave band support.
Here are all the 5G bands it supports:
5G NR (Bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n71, n77, n78, n79).
