8.38 inches: this is the diagonal size that Apple's next tablet could adopt, according to a product sheet for one of its accessories that appeared on... Amazon. More precisely, it is on the Japanese version of the online sales platform that this characteristic could be seen, until now subject to numerous assumptions. This time, however, it seems that the source is relatively safe.
Indeed, the brand behind this leak is none other than a third-party manufacturer called Elecom. However, we know that this type of partner is likely to receive detailed information on the format of Apple's upcoming articles in order to prepare its own releases. It is therefore very possible that the Japanese company got wind of the technical sheet of the iPad mini 6 before it was official, especially since the screen protector in question here has since been removed from the store by Jeff Bezos.

What's more, the American, who believes that the reference will probably not appear in the Apple Store before the month of October, assumes that its design will be revisited with narrower borders. A logical consequence to avoid confusing the iPad mini too much with its cousins by increasing its dimensions, especially since some like those labeled Pro adopt precisely these same guidelines.
See you in a few minutes!
Tonight at 7 p.m., Apple is hosting a new keynote titledCalifornia Streaming. Many media are announcing the arrival of the iPhone 13, but not only that. Indeed, if the release of iPads could be compromised, this will not seem to be the case for the third generation AirPods or the Apple Watch Series 7.
