Apple has been revamping its MacBook and iMac devices with a new design as well as adopting its own Apple Silicon chips instead of Intel chips. The company recently launched the iPad Pro powered by the Apple M1 chipset — the same chip that powers most of the newly launched computers from the brand.

Now, a new report coming from Mark Gurman through Power On newsletter claims that the Cupertino-based tech giant is reportedly gearing up to launch a revamped version of the iPad Mini in the fall this year. The upcoming iPad Mini 6 is speculated to launch along with the larger-display model of the Apple iMac.

The newer model of the iPad Mini is expected to come with some major design overhaul, including thinner bezels. The brand is also touted to get rid of the Home button. In what is billed to be the “biggest redesign in the nine-year history” of the device, Mark Gurman claims it will be similar to the alterations made to the iPad Air.

Leaked images related to the device have pointed to the iPad Mini having the same footprint as the current model, with only a 3mm difference. It is said to measure 206.3mm x 137.8mm x 6.1mm in dimensions and will be available in three colors options — Silver, Black, and Gold. The Lightning port has been switched for USB-C port, and Touch ID will remain on the device in the form of a power button sensor.

Although the iPad Pro is powered by the M1 chipset, we expect the company to launch this upcoming model powered by the Apple A-series processors to differentiate between the Pro and Mini models in terms of performance.

Apple is also rumored to launch a new model of the iMac which will have a bigger display compared to the recently announced 24-inch iMac. The new model is likely to have a 27-inch screen or larger and is likely to be powered by the M1X or M2 chipset.
