Apple has not forgotten the iPad Mini, the smallest tablet in the house, whose latest release dates back to the fourth generation of 2019. According to various sources, the Cupertino giant will present a new model by the end of the year, probably with a online event in winter, following that of September dedicated to the iPhone 13.
According to the Japanese site Mac Otakara, the Mini 6 will not be aesthetically very different from the previous one, except for a few small design changes. An 8.3-inch screen is expected, surrounded by narrower frames, within which the Face ID sensor should find space, indicating the probable disappearance of the Home key. In addition to the rumored support for the Apple Pencil, the miniature tablet could host an A14 or A15 processor and a USB-C port, replaced by the Lightning home connector, in line with the step change already occurred on the iPad Pro and iPad Air (4th generation ). An indiscretion from DigiTimes speaks of the adoption of a mini-LED display, like the one debuting on the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro. However, screen analyst Ross Young points out that thecurrent mini-LED technology would not bring major benefits on a small panel, such as that of the iPad Mini, in addition to raising sales costs. It is therefore certain to use a classic IPS display.
No news on a possible appointment for the presentation which, in any case, will be held strictly online, as emerged from recent notes that would see Apple return with physical events only in the spring of 2022. (ANSA).
