So a new ipad mini is way overdue to be refreshed and i want to share with you a new
leak that the expected ipad mini pro release date will be in the second half of the year
and also details about the price and design details
let me show you all of these details and a summary of everything we know so far
hi it's matt here so let's cut to the chase here it has been over two years since we've had a new
ipad mini that came with the a12 chipset inside that's right the last time the ipad
mini got updated was in march 2019 so recently we've just had the apple spring loaded event
where we saw the new ipad pro new air tags and the new imac m1 in fact if you want to know more about
those other apple products and brand new reviews and perspectives are coming on here so check out
my other videos on my channel and make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell because as
mentioned i'll be giving my full review and tips video for all the new apple products when they
come out but anyway with the apple spring loaded event it did not show us a brand new ipad mini and
many of us including myself were very disappointed to see that apple did not upgrade this ipad
as it is way overdue to have a new design and a new chipset well the good news is we are very
likely to see a new ipad mini before the end of the year and most likely at the end of summer
at one of apple's new virtual events we expect by following history of previous ipad releases
that do not happen in the first half of the year that all other ipad releases generally are
released at the end of september or beginning of october time so we're expecting the new ipad mini
to have a release date of around this time period when the exact release date is leaked or leaks are
pointing towards an apple event date for this time we can give you the exact date you'll probably
be able to get your hands on that brand new ipad mini now i would normally go on to the price next
however this next leak from tron is exciting that there is a brand new ipad pro mini in the works
there isn't that much in the leak of what chipset will be inside but i will talk about that in a
moment however what is interesting is the mention of an 8.7 inch display and 5g capability however
we also still believe there will be a normal ipad mini coming out at the end of the year as well
these pictures have been provided from sony dixon and it shows the new ipad pro models and the ipad
mini the main body design as you can see here is unchanged from the last generation so this does
mean we'll be sticking with a touch id button at the bottom and it's very likely that the screen
size will be staying the same at 7.9 inches but it's the same size we've had since the first
generation ipad mini back in 2012. so for the ipad mini price that leak has kind of thrown things up
in the air a little bit and it's a bit more tricky to work out what the next model price will be
because we don't know if it's going to be a pro or a standard mini model at the moment you can get a
current gen 5 ipad mini for 399 us dollars if you opt for the basic 64 gigabyte model now this is a
good benchmark but the likelihood of an a14 or even the slight possibility of an a14x chipset
inside the ipad mini if it becomes a pro model is that the price could increase ever so slightly
but at the same time remember the newest ipad 8th generation that came out in late 2020
is actually just as fast as the ipad mini 5 with an a12 processor inside it but it also features
a larger screen and is actually cheaper than the ipad mini 5th generation by 70 us dollars
what is really bizarre at the moment as this is something apple needs to correct right away
we believe the starting price will be again the same 399 us dollars especially if we just get an
upgrade in chipset to maybe an a13 or even a 14 chipset of retaining the same design just quickly
though guys one thing i love to do on this channel and that is doing a giveaway and in fact i'm
doing a giveaway right now for this it is for an iphone se in space gray and a 64 gigabyte version
i am doing an international giveaway to give this away to one lucky subscriber when we get over 170
000 subscribers and all i want to know from you guys in the comments below is what apple products
are you planning on buying this year and what apple products are you most looking forward to
coming out in 2021 and put those in the comments below and like i say when we get over 170 000
subscribers i'll be announcing who the winner is but make sure you've subscribed yourself
and hit that notification bell to find out if you will be the lucky winner in an upcoming video
now another leak about the screen is rumored that we could be getting a mini led makeover these new
displays would replace the lcds in the product and would offer an experience more like an oled
that we currently get in the iphone 12 pro models but if we are retaining that design it is unlikely
it is likely though that the ipad mini 6 will also feature a new chipset inside it like i already
mentioned and most likely it probably will be the a14 bionic chip that we get in the iphone 12
models but ram size will probably be the same as the normal iphone 12 and the 12 mini and that is
around about four gigabytes apple pencil support was added to the ipad mini 5 and we expect it
to stick around possibly with the sport for the second generation apple pencil a keyboard photo
accessor would be nice though whether it would work with a smaller tablet that could be a bit
of an issue so i don't think we're possibly going to see a smaller magic keyboard for the ipad mini
another rumor suggests that the ipad mini 6 might stick with the lightning port rather than jumping
to usbc as the standard like what you find in the ipad pro range and also the ipad air
apple gave the pro and recently the air and usbc port as a pro and air is targeted to be
more of a laptop replacement device and also to work with high-end to pro apps so the ability to
import media on usb is needed well guys at this stage this is the latest we know about the new
ipad mini 6. so are you excited about the new ipad mini 2021 model and will you be getting
one or maybe you may be getting another ipad this year let me know in the comments below what model
