It's unclear whether iPadOS 15.6 beta is able to fix the issue or not.
Some users have tried restoring the iPad software to see if it fixes the issue but that doesn't seem to work. While this appears to be a hardware issue, the reason behind this is software-related.
The new iPadOS 15.5 update is apparently causing charging issues on the iPad mini 6 tablets. In an internal memo sent to authorised service providers (via), Apple has stated that it is aware that users have been facing issues when charging the iPad mini 6 after installing the iPadOS 15.5 update. Apple also says in the memo that replacing the internal battery or even the iPad itself won't solve the problem. This basically confirms that the charging issue is a software bug.
It isn't clear whether the new iPadOS 15.6 beta, which is currently available to developers will fix the issue with the iPad Mini 6. As a temporary fix, the company is advising employees at Apple Retail Stores and service providers to ask affected users to reboot their iPad mini.
As said above, it isn't clear whether moving to iPadOS 15.6 beta update will fix the issue but interested users can give it a try. We have included the steps to install the update.
