New iPad mini 6 reportedly launching this autumn with 'biggest redesign' in ix years

(Epitome credit: Future)

A new iPad mini has been tipped to go far this autumn, and is expected to come with a refreshed and long-overdue redesign.

That's according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who in his latest Power On newsletter (via 9to5Mac) stated that the iPad mini 6 (every bit we'll call information technology) "should be a go" for release this fall. Gurman noted information technology will have a design reminiscent of the latest iPad Air, which would mean significantly slimmer bezels and allow the side by side mini to take a larger brandish but a chassis size similar to the current iPad mini 5.

In his newsletter, Gurman noted that the iPad mini 6 could sport "the biggest redesign in the nine-year history" of the compact tablet. So we'd take that to mean in that location'll not simply exist a larger display but more than features equally well, such as a Touch ID fingerprint scanner built into the ability button, like the iPad Air has.

An improved chipset is also expected, perhaps the A15 Bionic tipped for the iPhone 13; our logic being that if Apple tree releases a new iPad around the same time as a new iPhone (next 1 is expected this fall too) then the tablet could use the aforementioned chip as the new iPhone.

The iPad mini was final refreshed in 2019. Simply aside from getting a laminated Retina display and a faster chipset in the form of the A12 Bionic, also every bit showtime-generation Apple Pencil support, the current mini was rather similar to its predecessors.

The actual overall design and size of the iPad mini hasn't really inverse since its debut in 2012. Every bit such, the iPad mini is well overdue for a proper redesign, equally is the standard iPad, which also sports chunky bezels compared to the Air and Pro models, though at that place's no indication of that happening this year.

To round off his newsletter, Gurman besides noted that another iMac is on it's style, and will sport a larger display than the new 24-inch iMac 2021. This tracks with other rumors we've heard, and nosotros're expecting to see a replacement for the 27-inch iMac likely powered past a new Apple Silicon bit in the course of the M1X chipset or the Apple M2 scrap.

If Gurman'south tips are on the money — it would appear he has an insider source but we can't verify this — then Apple is set to have a decorated fall, peculiarly as we're besides hoping to see a new fourteen-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro 16-inch both with fresh designs, mini-LED displays and new M1X chips.
