We have been talking about rumors for more than a year that point to a complete overhaul of the iPad Mini, an outdated design but which still offers support for Apple Pencil in its 5th generation which is currently on sale.
If we ignore the rumors, the new iPad Mini could expand the screen size from the current 7 inches to 8.5 or maybe 9 inches, reducing the bezels to maintain the size. The Touch ID would move sideways like the iPad Air and adopt a USB-C connection.
But also, if we pay attention to the Digitimes, the most important novelty of this sixth generation of iPad Mini will be the screen, a screen that will adopt mini-LED technology.
According to this outlet, the manufacturer BLU Radiant will start shipping mini-LED screens in the third quarter of 2021, screens that will be intended not only for the next generation of the iPad Mini, but also for the next MacBook PRO that Apple would have. planned to market in the last quarter of this year.
Remember that screens with mini-LED technology offer a higher brightness, better contrast and deeper blacks, blacks that do not offer the same quality as an OLED panel.
Mark Gurman previously said the new iPad mini will be announced later this year and component shipments related to the mini LED display. will start in the third trimester of the year, thus confirming the information from Digitimes.
From 9to5Mac, they recently claimed that the next iPad mini will feature the same A15 chip as the new generation iPhone 13, will include a Smart connector to easily connect compatible keyboards. With these improvements, it is quite possible that Apple will also extend the number of speakers of this device, as Jon Prosser stated.
What is clear is that thThe price of this model will not be the same than the iPad Mini 5, a device that exceeds its size is very expensive.
