I have always told everyone that the moderator myself is using the iPad mini 5, and it is also the last generation of the iPad mini with the old design. In September 2021, it will bring a major revision to the iPad mini 6. However, many people will ask, when will the 7th generation come out first?
From 2021 to 2016, Apple will update the iPad mini every year, and then the update will become less frequent. The update will be in March 2019, but it will be a small update. The real big improvement will be the sixth in 2021. generation. However, due to the longer update cycle of the iPad mini series, it is not sure whether there will be a hardware update this year, but there are still rumors that the iPad mini 7 may be released this year.
Analyst: It may not be launched until 2024
Although there is no definite news yet, according to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, there may be some specification improvements this year, and according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPad mini 7 may be launched at the end of 2023 or the first half of 2024. There is still a possibility of a launch this year, but the chances may be a little bigger in early 2024.
The current iPad mini uses the A15 Bionic chip. Although the CPU frequency is slightly reduced, it has the same performance as the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone SE 3, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus and the third-generation Apple TV 4K. The 6 products all use the A15 chip. It can be seen that this chip is very common in the Apple product line. In addition, it supports the second-generation Apple Pencil and the Center Stage function. In fact, it seems that in addition to using the A16 Bionic chip and In addition to the enhancement of the camera, it is hard to imagine what new things will happen in the next-generation iPad mini, so I personally think that there is a relatively high chance that there will be no new iPad this year, but it will be launched in 2024, which is still more likely. I wonder if everyone will look forward to the next generation iPad mini?
