iPad Mini With Slimmer Bezels and No Home Button Coming Later This YearApple is working on a revamped version of the
iPad mini that will feature the first design update the smaller-sized tablet has seen in six years, according to a new report from
Bloomberg.
The updated ‌iPad mini‌ will feature narrower screen bezels, with Apple also testing a design that does away with the Home button. We've heard
several prior rumors about Apple's work on a new version of the ‌iPad mini‌, which could feature a display that measures in at 8.5 to 9 inches, a notable increase from the current 7.9-inch display.
Images of an ‌iPad mini‌ dummy model even
leaked earlier this year, though it is not clear if that dummy model was accurate as it did feature a Home button.
In addition to a new ‌iPad mini‌, Apple is also working on a thinner version of the low-cost entry-level
iPad that's aimed at students, with both the ‌iPad mini‌ and the new low-cost ‌iPad‌ planned for "as early as the end of this year."
Bloomberg's report also
highlighted a new iPad Pro coming in 2022 that could feature
MagSafe wireless charging capabilities as well as the ability to reverse charge other wireless devices.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup:
