Apple could release a new iPad Mini model by the end of 2023

The iPad mini is being updated by tech giant Apple, and it should be released by the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024. On the microblogging site Twitter, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo posted the details and predicted that the new iPad mini's processor will be its key selling point.

He further said that the iPhone maker will not replace the iPad mini with a folding iPad in 2025.

This is due to the fact that "such a replacement is unreasonable" because "the price of the folding iPad should be significantly higher than that of the iPad mini."

The company was said to be working on a new iPad Mini model with a 120Hz ProMotion display rather than the current 60Hz screen a month ago.

Previous iPad Mini Version

In 2021, Apple updated the iPad mini with a new unibody design with slim bezels, Touch ID integrated into the power button, and the first iPad mini with a USB Type-C port for data syncing and charging. The latest A15 Bionic processor was also included in the device's launch, but it had a slower GPU and CPU than the iPhone 13 Pro.

Furthermore, the sixth generation iPad mini received support for the Mac Pencil (second generation). It's possible that the 7th generation iPad mini will look like the current model. However, a new processor and possibly additional RAM and storage options are likely to improve performance.

In India, the 64GB model of the 6th generation iPad mini, which supports the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil, is currently the most affordable iPad. Despite having a better display and a more powerful processor, the iPad mini almost costs the same as the iPad of the previous generation. In the meantime, Kuo disclosed last week that Apple would either cancel or postpone the planned 2024 mass production of the iPhone SE 4.
