| iPad Mini 6 Release Date and Price, iPad Mini 2021 Design Sneak Peak - Technology News of the Week |
we have the details of the iPad mini 6 release
date and price coming right up also stick around
if you want to see a sneak peek of what we believe
the new iPad mini 2021 design is likely to be
so this so a quick summary of recently released ipads
so back in 2020, all the iPad lines were
updated bar one and that was the iPad mini
so first off the iPad proline was in march time
last year and that was updated then in September
we had updates to the iPad normal so an iPad 8th
generation with an upgraded a12 processor inside
it and then we also got that brand new iPad
air 4 or the iPad Air 2020 in that lovely new
slate design similar to the iPad proline so this
means all of the pads have been updated bar one
what is the iPad mini was last?
updated almost two years ago in March 2019
it got an upgrade of the current a chipset
what was the a12 bionic processor at the time?
it also got some camera upgrades and also a
true tone screen these upgrades were needed
at the time but now at the beginning of 2021 it
is showing its age again we believe the release
a date for the next iPad mini will be very
soon in march 2021 and this falls inline
with most other pads releases in recent years
when they've come out in October or march time
for example, the iPad Pro 4 came out on the march
25th 2020 only about a year ago the iPad air free
and the last iPad mini 5 came out on March 18
2019 I think you're getting the picture here
that we expect the iPad mini 6 to
come out in mid to late march 2021
but there are more details of why the iPad mini
2021 needs to come out sooner rather than later
remember that latest iPad 8th generation i just
spoke about what came out in late 2020 and it's
considered as the budget iPad as it were well it
is as fast as the current iPad mini 5 as it's got
that new a12 processor inside it but that new iPad
8th generation features a larger screen and it's
actually cheaper than the iPad mini 5th generation
by 70 us dollars was absolutely bonkers and this
is something apple needs to create sooner rather
than later so for the iPad mini 6 price than right
now we're looking towards the iPad mini 5 pricing
the model you can currently get that 5th generation
iPad mini for 399 us dollars if you opt for the
basic 64 gigabytes now this is a good benchmark
but with the likelihood of an a14 chipset inside
the iPad mini 6 and if the upcoming rumors what
I'm about to show you do turn out to be true we
may see a little price hike but we still think it
will be a great mid-price tablet now the biggest
room of all so far as you can see in these renders
what I'm showing here is that we may get a whole
new design iPad mini this would technically be
the first time the iPad mini has had a whole
new design since it first came out in 2012.
the rumors are saying that the iPad mini 6 will
be in the same design as an iPad pro giving that
more flatter view and approach to the design this
must mean that we would get far smaller bezels and
also, remove the home button or touch the id button in
favor of gesture control and also face id now this
is speculation and not many leaks have actually
indicated that Apple is actually going to do this
however, it makes sense for Apple to make their
iPad line look very similar just like the full
iMac line or the MacBook line looking also similar
as well however one leak that seems to be clear is
that the iPad mini 6 could come in a new slightly
the larger screen and it would be an 8.5-inch size
for referencing all previous iPad minis including
the latest 5 have featured a 7.9-inch display
min chin cow a reliable leaker predicts
the display will be either 8.5 or 9 inches
the move doesn't necessarily mean we'll have to
squeeze a larger tablet into our bags as apple
has increased the displays of its pads before
by simply slimming down the bezels just like
the iPad 7th gen came with a 10.2 inch
screen instead of a 9.7 like previous pads
but the overall dimensions are basically the same
as also mentioned for such a big screen increase
I believe a whole new design is in the works for the iPad mini 6. I can't really see such a
jump in screen size in the current design of
the iPad minis that we have previously seen
now another leak about the screen is rumored to
get a mini led makeover these new displays would
replace the LCDs in the products and would
offer an experience more akin to an OLED
that would currently get in like the
iPhone 11 pro models and like the iPhone
x and also the xs it is likely that the iPad mini
6 will also feature that new a14 bionic chip that
we recently got in the iPhone 12 but ram size
will probably get about the same as the normal
iPhone 12 models, not the pro models so that
would roundabout be about four gigabytes
for storage we're expecting now the
minimum to be either 64 or 128 gigabytes
this then would put it on par with the likes
of the iPhone 12 or the iPhone 12 Pro models that start at 64 gigs or 128 gigabytes in the pro models and this is kind of needed in 2021.
apple pencil support was also added for the iPad minify and we expect it to stick around possibly with the support for the second-generation Apple pencil that also came out last year a keyboard folio accessory would be nice as
well though whether it would work as well it's going to be difficult to ensure that it could happen because the tablet is far smaller and from the latest leaks and renders we can see here if the actual physical size of the actual
the tablet is going to be smaller I can't really see how we're going to get a full-size keyboard
working with such a small tablet another rumor suggests that the iPad 6 might stick with the lightning port rather than jumping to the USB standard you find across the iPad pro range apple gave the pro a USB-C port as a pro is targeted to be a laptop replacement device and also to work with pro apps so the ability to import media on USB was needed however we did get a surprise with the iPad air
