In the March of each year, it is Apple's spring new product launch event. However, the iPad mini 6 did not appear at press conference last year. According to latest rumors and leaks, it is likely to be released this year. We have collected a lot rumors and leaks about iPad mini 6 before it is released. Let's check out its release date, price and new features!

Recently, under the influence of COVID-19, tablet have become an increasing popular digital consumer product. On one hand, larger screen than smartphone has better entertainment experience. On the other hand, demands of online class and online official use is increasing. In the global tablet market, Apple has been the top one for many years. Although Android tablets have improved user experience in recent years, they have already lacked a large number of top developers and APP adaptation. Compared to iPadOS, there is a big gap between them. And the iPad product line has always insisted on using Apple's flagship processor, which has a more outstanding performance.

Famous Apple analyst Kuo said in May 2020 that the display size of the next iPad mini will reach 8.5 to 9 inches. And he also said that Apple is developing an iPad mini equipped with a mini-LED display, but it is still unclear whether the iPad mini 6 will be equipped with this display. 

iPad mini 6 will adopt an edge-to-edge design with equal width on all sides, consistent with iPad Pro and Air 4. The frame will also become flatter as the iPad Pro and iPhone 12 series. The top has a two-in-one design with Touch ID fingerprint switch buttons, which supports the Apple Pencil adsorption storage stylus. Its front screen size is 8.9 inches, and the resolution is 2360x1640, which supports P3 wide color gamut and original color display.

In terms of hardware configuration, the iPad mini 6 will be equipped with the same A14 bionic chip as the iPhone 12 series, with storage options of 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. It is worth mentioning that the iPad mini 6 cancels the 3.5mm headphone jack and uses USB Type-C port which also supports data transmission. On the rear camera, it should still be a 12-megapixel single camera, but upgraded with the latest algorithm, so the camera ability and experience will be upgraded. If you want to enhance photos shot by your iPad, you can use some photo editing apps like VSCO to apply filters and changes to photos, or transfer photos to computer for more professional editing.

We expect that Apple will release a small type smart keyboard for iPad mini. And upgrade the compatibility to the latest Apple Pencil 2. Apple may also upgrade the stereo quad speakers to iPad mini, as it has been offered on iPad Pro since 2015. 

According to Macotakara report in January 2021, Apple has begun production of the new iPad mini model and it may launch in spring, possibly in March. However, another site from Korea indicated we could be waiting until autumn for the iPad mini, along with iPhone 13 series. According to the pricing on the Internet and past pricing, the pricing of iPad mini 6 will have a certain increase - the starting price may be controlled within $559.

These early iPad mini 6 leaks suggest that Apple's not resting on last year's update, and is looking to make the next iPad mini at least an evolution of the product. If Apple launches iPad mini 6 in March, and close to what we know so far, will you buy it? Let's look forward to it!
