Supposed iPad Mini 5 Case Supports Rumors of Few Design Changes

Rumors suggest that a new iPad mini is on the horizon, and a supposed case for the tablet shared by Indian blog 91Mobiles today points towards few outward design changes beyond a center-positioned rear microphone. The blog attributes the photos to Slashleaks contributor Sudhanshu Ambhore.

Beyond the centered microphone, the case is consistent with the <!---->iPad<!----> mini 4 design, including two speakers and a Lightning connector along the bottom, a headphone jack and power button along the top, volume buttons along the right side, and what appears to be a circular, single-lens rear camera.





The case, if accurate, corroborates information shared by OnLeaks and Japanese blog Mac Otakara, both of which heard that the so-called iPad mini 5 will look virtually identical to the <!---->iPad<!----> mini 4. In other words, this could amount to a mere spec bump, including an upgraded processor per analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.





However, it's worth noting that there have been a few conflicting <!---->iPad<!----> mini rumors, including photos of a model with a redesigned antenna band and an earlier case with cutouts for four speakers and a pill-shaped opening appropriate for a rear camera with a LED flash positioned below it like the 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!---->.





Apple is set to host a media event on March 25 at Steve Jobs Theater, but BuzzFeed News reported that a new <!---->iPad<!----> mini and next-generation AirPods are "unlikely to make an appearance" during the keynote. Instead, Apple is widely expected to introduce subscription-based video and news services.





If the new <!---->iPad<!----> mini is not unveiled during the event, it could be announced via press release, which would be fitting if it is merely a spec bump. Rumors also point towards minor refreshes to the 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!----> and iPod touch.





The <!---->iPad<!----> mini 4 was released in September 2015 and remains available for purchase starting at $399 in the United States.
