No iPad mini 6
With over two years since its last update, Apple’s iPad mini is once again on its way to becoming the company’s most-neglected product — especially now that the Apple TV 4K has just gotten a much-needed refresh.
While rumours of a new iPad mini have been confusing and contradictory, we’ve been assuming that’s because Apple was actually working on two different approaches, with one of them being a lower-end refresh that will keep the same design and simply bump the screen size up slightly. While there have been fewer reports of the smaller tablet’s appearance, when leaked photos showed a new iPad mini dummy casing alongside the new iPad Pro, it seemed probable that it would be announced during the same event.
Obviously, that hasn’t happened, although it doesn’t rule out the possibility of a quieter announcement by press release only in the next few weeks, as if this refresh is what we think it is, it’s not something Apple is going to see any need to show off at an event anyway.
