The sixth generation iPad mini would have a screen approximately 6.33% larger, according to analyst Ross Young, CEO ofDisplay Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC). The version currently on sale sticks to 7.9 inches, but the expert assures that the next one will reach 8.4 inches.The journalists ofMacotakaraare also aiming for a diagonal of this size, which suggests that the figure is on track.
To implement such a change, Apple would have reduced the width of the device's borders rather than making it more imposing. This was also the case with the fourth generation iPad Pro and iPad Air, which were also given a proper makeover. On the menu: a much more rectilinear design reminiscent of that of the iPhone 12, and which should also concern the new iPad mini.
Grew from 7.9" due to narrower bezels and removal of Home button.

Reliability
In the past, Ross Young had already shared rumors of this type. By estimating that the iPhone 12 would arrive too early to benefit from the ProMotion 120 Hz refresh rate while many other informants thought the opposite, he was right. Rebelote duringthe announcement of the amount of RAM of the iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max as well as the size and resolution of their screen, and this more than four months before their formalization.
However, we have just noticed that the tweet mentioning this data also contained some errors, notably in the name of the devices but also in the storage space. However, the message has since been deleted from the author's account, which is puzzling. It is therefore appropriate to remain cautious in the face of what remains simple rumors, even if published here primarily for investors betting on AAPL stock – DSCC clients.
A new processor?
To finish with the sixth generation iPad mini, you should also know thatthis should feature an A15 CPU. The chip would also equip the collection of different iPhone 13s, which would also be announced at the same time during the usual end-of-year keynote. See you in September to find out for sure.
