Rumor has it that Apple is planning a new iPad mini with a significant redesign, including a larger 8.5 to 9-inch display with slimmer bezels, a Touch ID power button instead of the home button, a USB-C port instead of the Lightning connector, and more.
If rumors are to be believed, 2021 will be a big year for the iPad mini. Now DigiTimes is reporting that the sixth generation of the small tablet could have a mini-LED display. Article shows:
BLU maker Radiant will begin shipping Apple mini-LED backlit devices in Q3 21. Radiant Optoelectronics will begin shipping its backlights for the upcoming LED-backlit MacBook Pro and iPad mini in the third quarter, with shipments increasing in the fourth quarter, according to sources close to the industry.

Compared to traditional LCDs, mini-LED backlighting offers advantages such as higher brightness, improved contrast, and deeper blacks. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated some time ago that an iPad mini with a mini-LED display was in the works. But he said it would be a 7.9-inch model that would be released in 2020 - a prediction that has not come true. Nonetheless, an iPad mini with a mini-LED display certainly remains plausible as Apple expands the display technology across its entire product range, starting with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The new MacBook Pro could be next. Be that as it may, according to current reports, Apple will unveil the new mini tablet sometime between September and November. So fans will have to wait a little longer. (Image: rendersbyian)
