Sixth-Generation iPad Mini to Feature 8.4-Inch Display With Slimmer Bezels, March Launch Expected

Apple is rumored to be working on a new version of the iPad mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-mini/) with a larger display size, and Japanese site Mac Otakara (http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/rumor/entry-40811.html) today shared some details on the upcoming tablet with information said to be sourced from the Chinese supply chain.

The upcoming ‌iPad mini‌ is said to have an 8.4-inch display, up from the current 7.9-inch screen size. It will have slimmer bezels and will look similar to the iPad Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-air/) 3, a design language that Mac Otakara said Apple would also be using (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/01/06/low-cost-ipad-thinner-design/) for the ninth-generation low-cost iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/).





The ‌iPad mini‌ 6 will have a design that's unified with the upcoming low-cost ‌iPad‌, and will continue to feature a Touch ID (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/touch-id/) Home button with top and bottom bezels and a Lightning port.





Mac Otakara believes that the refreshed ‌iPad mini‌ will see a March launch, so it could perhaps debut at a March event if Apple has one planned.





Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/) said in May 2020 (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/14/kuo-apple-glasses-2022-new-ipads-2020/) that the next-generation ‌iPad mini‌ would have a display that measures in at 8.5 to 9 inches. He has also said that Apple is working on an ‌iPad mini‌ with a mini-LED display (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/03/03/apple-14-1-inch-macbook-pro-mini-led/), but it's not clear if the ‌iPad mini‌ 6 is the ‌iPad mini‌ that will have the upgraded display.
