Alleged new generation of iPad Mini is released

Based on rumors and leaks about the iPad Mini, which must have a design inspired by the current iPad Pro, designer Parker Ortolani shared conceptual renderings that show his vision for a future compact tablet. Obviously, this is just the view of the designer, but the result is quite curious.
Ortolani's renderings show a device that has been reduced by almost 20% with the same diagonal as the screen on the current iPad Mini. This can be achieved by reducing the panels around the screen and eliminating the physical button on the home page. The designer assumes the use of the Face ID user identification system on the device. In fact, the design presented is very reminiscent of what we can see in the current iPad Pro.
However, authoritative analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously reported that the next generation of the iPad Mini, which will be introduced in 2021, will receive an 8.5 or 9 inch screen and will appear in a body similar in size to the current version of Apple. iPad Mini. 



Kuo attributes the change to the need to clearly separate the uses of the iPad Mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which allegedly boasts a 6.7-inch screen. Remember that the iPad Mini's current screen has a diagonal of 7.9 inches.
Apple last updated the iPad Mini in 2019. The design of the device remained practically the same as the first model in the family, shown in 2012, but the padding corresponds to modern realities. The tablet is based on the powerful Apple A12 Bionic chipset, which also powers the iPhone XS, and supports the first generation Apple Pencil stylus.
