The last iPad mini launched by Apple dates back to September 2021. It was the biggest revolution within this iPad model due to the arrival of a real portable tablet concept with an 8.3-inch screen, compatibility with 5G networks and the arrival of Face ID. Throughout these months we have been able to learn about possible novelties of the next generation of the iPad mini such as the apparent arrival of the refresh rate of 120 Hz. A few hours ago a report from the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo was released, assuring that the iPad mini 7 will arrive with a renewed processor at the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024.
A new processor for the iPad mini from the end of 2023
the The iPad mini 6 had major repercussions for the change of perspective that Apple has applied in this model. It was a device “really mini” meeting user expectations. The effort at the material level involved great changes. Among them, the arrival of the A12 Bionic chip, the 2048x1536px Retina display, the improvements in the rear and front cameras and the significant increase in the battery stand out.

However, more than a year after the launch of this model, we still do not know anything about the next generation, the iPad mini 7. The famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo published on his Twitter account Twitter a series of comments on this future device. It seems, Apple may be planning to release the iPad mini 7 in late 2023 or early 2024.

I think Apple is unlikely to replace the iPad mini with a foldable iPad in 2025, which may be contrary to what some media have previously predicted. This is because a foldable iPad will be priced significantly higher than an iPad mini, so such a replacement is not reasonable.—Ming-Chi Kuo (@mingchikuo) December 27, 2022
In terms of improvements, Kuo assures that The big news will be a renewed processor that it will vitaminize all tasks at the software level and that there will be no major design changes. Indeed, he assures that the foldable iPad mini would not currently make sense for two reasons. First, the price would be higher than the current model and that would make no sense; on the other hand, the technology is not yet ready for its final launch. So we are left with the news: a possible new iPad mini by the end of next year.
