Much has been said for years about the possibility of seeing an iPad mini with a renewed design, eliminating the edges and giving absolute prominence to the screen. Something like what we already see in the iPad Air and iPad Pro. Although this could have happened at the beginning of this year, it seems that Apple has not ruled it out and we could see it very soon, as revealed now by one of the most authorized when discussing future company products.
We will see the iPad mini 6 this year
Mark Gurman, who works as an analyst for Bloomberg, is the one who has now given new information about this iPad. He is one of the gurus with the highest percentage of success when making this type of predictions and although he never reveals his sources, his reports are always taken into account. In the last hours some of the novelties of this iPad model that had already been rumored and that seems to be gaining more strength now have advanced.
According to Gurman, this device would have a screen with a size between 8.5 and 9 inches , leaving behind the 7.5 that current models have. This would not imply a larger size of the device itself, since this reduction of frames would be carried out on the front with the elimination of the main button. It is not entirely clear if it will have Touch ID on the lock button as in the ‘Air’ model, if it will incorporate Face ID or even if the company is committed to an under-screen fingerprint unlock.
Nor is it clear the processor that would mount this team, but everything indicates that it could be the A15 chip that would also mount this year’s iPhone. It could precisely be presented at the same event, around the month of September . Gurman only stated that it would arrive at the end of this year, but unless the company intends to hold more than one event, that would be the key month. It could also be accompanied by a ninth generation iPad that in its case would maintain the classic design.
Advancement also of news in iPad Pro 2022
Although the iPad Pro with M1 chip launched just a few weeks ago is still on everyone’s lips and great things are expected from him after the introduction of iPadOS 15, Apple could already be thinking about next year’s generation. According to the same Gurman report, it would have important news regarding its cargo.
The most striking thing is that it would have wireless charging , something until now exclusive to iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. We do not know exactly what it would be like when taking into account the dimensions of this device (a giant MagSafe?), But it would also be accompanied by the reversible charge. Precisely this technology attracts more attention, since it would give the possibility of charging other devices with its back and it would make more sense than in an iPhone as it has a larger size and therefore a battery with a greater capacity.
