The renderings attributed to the iPad mini 6 show its completely new design
So far, many rumors and reports have been published about the seventh generation iPad mini, and it is said that Apple intends to unveil and launch the said tablet before the end of this year. We also recently reviewed in detail what to expect from the iPad mini 6 in a separate article . Overall, the new iPad mini is expected to include impressive hardware specs that will be housed under a completely redesigned chassis.
Evidence suggests that the said tablet, inspired by recent Apple products, will be decorated with a new design language with a screen and flat edges, which will almost make it a smaller version of the iPad Air. Now the designer named Michael Ma has published high-quality renderings of the mentioned iPad, which can provide a very good view of this tablet and is very close to the final product.
As you might have guessed, these renders are very similar to the iPad Air 4 . The iPad mini 6 will likely have an 8.4-inch Liquid Retina display with 60Hz refresh rate and symmetrical, reduced bezels. In addition, the thickness of this device is mentioned to be 6.1 mm and it will include space gray, silver, rose gold, green and sky blue color options.
According to recent reports, the beating heart of the smallest Apple tablet will be the very powerful A15 chip, which is exactly the same chip that will be responsible for processing duties in the heart of the iPhone 13 series. It is also possible that Apple will use the slightly older A14 chip in this product. Both chips are made with TSMC 5nm lithography and include 6 processing cores consisting of two powerful cores for heavy processing and 4 weak cores for everyday processing, and four powerful graphics cores will accompany them. Since these chips are SOC (system-on-chip), components such as neural engine, ISP, etc. are expected to have a significant improvement compared to the A12 chip used in the fifth generation iPad mini.
Looking at the past years, iPad mini has always had a price between standard iPad and iPad Air, and probably the same pricing method will be maintained. Currently, the base version of the standard iPad is priced at $329 and the iPad Air is priced at $599. With these interpretations, the iPad mini 6 could cost $429 to $499, which would actually be more expensive than the current $399 iPad mini. The price hike is believed to be due to the powerful specs and new design language; Because Apple had previously increased the price of iPad Air 4 compared to its previous generation.
