iPad Mini With Slimmer Bezels and No Home Button Coming Later This Year

Apple is working on a revamped version of the iPad mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/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 (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-04/apple-working-on-ipad-pro-with-wireless-charging-new-ipad-mini).

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 (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/14/kuo-apple-glasses-2022-new-ipads-2020/) 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 (https://www.macrumors.com/), 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 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/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 (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/06/04/ipad-pro-2022-wireless-charging-capabilities/) coming in 2022 that could feature MagSafe (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/magsafe-battery-pack/) wireless charging capabilities as well as the ability to reverse charge other wireless devices.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: iPad mini 5 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-mini/)</div><div class="linkback">Tags: bloomberg.com (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/bloomberg-com/), Mark Gurman (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Don't Buy) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPad_Mini)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: iPad (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ipad.137)</div>
