The next iPad mini is said to have an 8.4 inch screen, above the current 7.9 inch screen size. It will have finer settings and will be similar to the iPad Air 3, a design language that Mac Otakara said Apple would also be using it for the ninth generation low-cost iPad.
The iPad mini 6 will have a unified design with the next low-cost comingiPad and will continue to feature a Touch ID Home button with top and bottom bezels and a Lightning door.
Mac Otakara believes that the updated iPad mini will launch in March, so perhaps it could 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 would have an 8.5 to 9 inch screen. He also said that Apple is working on a iPad mini with a mini-LED screen, but it is unclear whether the iPad mini 6 is the iPad mini that will have the screen updated.
