Apple is reported to launch the iPad Mini 6th Generation by the end of this year. Details about this product are in the news since last year. But for the first time, we now get to see its design, courtesy of renders from a reliable leaker.
There have been multiple iPad Mini 6th Generation renders in the past. However, all of them were fishy. That‘s because they suggested features like in-display Touch ID and punch-hole front-facing camera, which were never mentioned by trusted sources.
Whereas, the new renders come from none other than Jon Prosser, who recently even shared similar renders of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The tipster has partnered with Ian Zelbo (@RendersbyIan) for the renders of iPad Mini 6th Generation based on live pictures, schematics, and CAD files he received from multiple sources.
According to these renders, the iPad Mini will get its first redesign in six years. The sixth-generation iPad Mini will feature a similar boxy design as the iPad Air 4th Generation, newer iPad Pro models, and the iPhone 12 series.
Hence, it will have flat sides, thinner bezels, and an 8.4 to 8.9-inch display as revealed by Mark Gurman recently. As a result, there will be no home button and the Touch ID moves to the power button on top.
Further, the product will come with improved speakers and a USB Type-C port. Hence, it will be the third iPad series without the dated lightning port. As far as size and colors are concerned, it is said to measure 206.3mm x 137.8mm x 6.1mm in dimensions and will be available in three colors (silver, black, gold).
Last but not least, there could be a smaller Apple Pencil for the iPad Mini 6th Generation. But there’s also a chance that this stylus could end up as Apple Pencil 3rd Generation for all the iPad models.
As of now, there’s no official launch date for the next-gen small tablet from Apple. Anyway, it is expected to go official by the end of 2021.
