Apple refreshed its entire iPad lineup in 2020 leaving out the Mini model. But now, an alleged leak has emerged spilling the possible specifications of iPad Mini 6th Generation. As per the tipster, these specs are of one of many prototypes and therefore, the final product may differ.
According to Twitter user @000leaker (via NotebookCheck), a prototype of the upcoming iPad Mini 6th Generation sports a larger 8.5-inch Liquid Retina Display, compared to the 7.9-inch screen on the current generation. Also, it features a similar boxy design as the new iPhone 12 series, iPad Air 4th Generation, and newer iPad Pro models.
Interestingly, it also features a USB Type-C port ditching the Lightning port for once and all. Further, most importantly, it is powered by Apple A14 Bionic chip paired with 4GB RAM. However, the stereo speakers are the same as the older model.
Other features of this prototype include a dual-battery, the same camera as the new iPad Air, and support for Apple Pencil 2nd Generation.
That said, the leakster also mentions the presence of performance issues with the dual-battery on this model. Hopefully, Apple fixes it and finalizes this prototype since the iPad Mini 6th Generation with this set of features should be a solid upgrade for anyone with an older gen model.
