Sixth-generation iPad Mini will feature 8.4-inch display with thinner bezels, expected to launch in March

Rumor has it that Apple is working on a new version of the iPad mini with a larger screen size and a Japanese site Mac Otakara today shared some details on the next tablet with information believed to be coming from the Chinese supply chain.

The upcoming ‌iPad mini‌ is said to have an 8.4 inch screen, above the current screen size of 7.9 inches. It will have thinner bezels and look like the iPad Air 3, a design language that Mac Otakara said Apple would also use for the low-cost ninth-generation iPad.

The iPad mini‌ 6 will have a unified design with the upcoming low-cost ‌iPad‌, and will continue to feature a Touch ID home button with top and bottom bezels and a Lightning port.

Mac Otakara estimates 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 said in May 2020 that the next-generation iPad mini‌ will have a screen measuring between 8.5 and 9 inches. He also said that Apple is working on an ‌iPad mini‌ with a mini LED display, but it is not known whether the iPad mini‌ 6 is the iPad mini‌ that will have the upgraded display.
