Rumor: Apple comes with successor iPad mini 4

Apple would come this spring with a successor to the iPad mini 4, according to a new rumor. The last iPad mini is from four years ago. The specs and features of the device are not yet known.

The iPad mini 5 would appear next to a new regular iPad with a 9.7″ screen, Digitimes reports. The Taiwanese newspaper always relies on suppliers. The information from the newspaper has not always turned out to be reliable, but with this kind of information about screen sizes that suppliers have to produce, it is almost always correct.

Apple released an iPad mini every year between 2012 and 2015, but discontinued it. In its place came large iPad Pro models, with screens over 12″. It is unknown what specs, functions and price the new iPad mini would come with. Apple still sells the outdated mini 4, but it costs more and is less powerful than last year’s regular iPad. They already appeared last week photos on Twitter of what would be a new iPad mini model.
