According to information from9to5Mac,who has already seen just more than a hundred timeswhen it comes to guessing the future of Apple products, the brand is currently preparing the release of its next compact tablet. Its name of course remains to be confirmed, but if the manufacturer follows its usual nomenclature it could simply be the sixth generation iPad mini.
In terms of design, users would be entitled to an appearance similar to that of the iPad Air released in 2020. Understand that these will probably be straighter edges than on the current iPad mini, in order to harmonize a collection started with the iPad Pro a few months earlier. Code name of the beast: J310, with some notable improvements also under the cabin…
Supposed datasheet
The new iPad mini could be powered by an A15 processor. This has not yet been released at the moment, and therefore also remains hypothetical, but it would in fact be the same - proprietary - chip which would support the RAM of the next iPhones. Nothing very surprising, given that it is still the “classic” iPad which remains the most affordable and least efficient in its range.
As for charging, it would once again be provided by universal USB-C connectivity. We can bet that this time the cable necessary to supply the tablet with energy will be on the program, but nothing is less certain. In fact, not long ago,the recent connected watch Apple Watch Series 6 could be surprised without a wall adapter. This then caused astonishment among many consumers, although justified under the guise of ecology by the apple brand.
Le Magic Keyboard version XS ?
Still according to our source of the day, the sixth generation iPad mini could feature the Smart Connector for the first time. This small plug is already installed on the edge of the most expensive models, and allows you to quickly connect a keyboardmade inApple too. However, there is none compatible with the iPad mini to date. Everything therefore suggests that a variation of the Smart Keyboard, the Smart Keyboard Folio or theMagic Keyboard with touchpadfor a screen around 8 inches will also be there… hello back pain.
