After taking the time to look at several apps side by side on the Mini 5 and Mini 6, for now, I think a lot depends on user preference for the various features. Maybe some things will be larger on screen on the Mini 6 once apps are optimized for the screen but there wasn’t all that much difference in the few comparisons I made.

The lighting is awful, both Minis have matte screen protectors on them, and I took the photos with my iPP 11 2021. This is mainly to compare size of information on the screen.

iBooks, sample from a Procreate book.

PDF of a SAS programming book. There’s more on the page on the Mini 6, but most of the extra isn’t useful info.

Spartan Camera Mangement app, landscape (slightly more on the Mini 5, but seeing the next camera’s name isn’t really useful):

Spartan Camera Management app, portrait (one more camera’s photos displayed on the Mini 6 but either is much better when compared to using the app on a phone):
