Recently, Kuo Ming-Chi released a report which shows that Apple will release its first foldable phone in 2023. The report also includes some information about the upcoming iPad Mini. According to Kuo Ming-Chi, a touch panel supplier will benefit from the new iPad mini (or iPad mini 6). Furthermore, this dew device will officially launch in the second half of 2021.Ā In April, Apple released the latest generation of iPad Pro. This device comes with a new mini-LED display, M1 processor, and 5G network support.
There have been reports that the new iPad mini will arrive this spring. However, it appears that theĀ update of the small iPad (Apple does not update frequently), should be in the fall. Kuo Ming-Chi also claims that AppleĀ is developing a new iPad mini with a 9-inch display. Optimistically, this product looks like a low version of the iPad Air. It appears to reduce the screen frame and moves the Touch ID to the side button.
According to Japanese blogger, Macotakara, the new iPad mini will use an 8.4-inch display. This is still an improvement over the current generation of 7.9-inch size.Ā The iPad mini currently sold by Apple has a starting price of 2921 yuan ($451) for the 64GB configuration. The cheapest iPad in the series, the 2499 yuan ($386) iPad, has a basic configuration of 32GB. According to reports, the cheap iPad will also be updated again at some point in 2021, perhaps along with the new iPad mini in the fall.
