Rumors suggest Apple will release the new <!---->iPad<!----> mini as early as this spring, likely alongside a new seventh-generation <!---->iPad<!----> with a slightly larger 10-inch display. Apple's plans to release a new <!---->iPad<!----> mini have been reported by
Ming-Chi Kuo,
Mark Gurman,
DigiTimes, and the

iPad Pro in 2016, the fifth-generation <!---->iPad<!----> in 2017, and the sixth-generation <!---->iPad<!----> in 2018, so there's a good chance that Apple will unveil the <!---->iPad mini 5<!----> and the new 10-inch <!---->iPad<!----> in a little over a month from now.
