Being a hardcore Apple user I (and even you) am eagerly waiting to know iPad Mini 7 release date. Once Apple announces the release date, you know what, a long que is going to stand outside Apple store.
This has always been the case and this will remain as it is!
Apple company recently conducted a ‘Let Loose’ event on 7th May, 2024, where the spotlight was on the release of iPad Pro featuring OLED display. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the announcement of iPad Mini 7 release date, but alas! Disappointment!
There was no mention of iPad Mini 7 release date and associated info. Anyways, in this article we’ll talk about the EXPECTED & RUMOURED specifications of iPad Mini 7.
Aren’t we all in awe of iPad Mini that stands out as the most compact and easily portable model within its product line. Thus, we can easily expect that the upcoming model will come-up noteworthy improvements, such as enhanced processing capabilities, increased memory, and potentially a larger display size.
Okay, let’s begin what the rumours and industry experts are saying about iPad Mini 7.
iPad Mini 7 Release Date
So, you are still hanging out with your iPad Mini 6 which was released some three years back on 24th September, 2021!
However, after using it for almost three years, you want to change it and upgrade to a newer version — iPad Mini 7? Right!
But the problem is that you yet don’t know the precise release date of the newer model.
Hmmm.
Worry not, we have got some rumours for you! The straightaway answer is — no one knows; however, as per the rumours, the much-awaited iPad Mini 7 may be released in late 2024 or early 2025.
What’s the Price?
Again, what to say! There’s isn’t much to talk about the price of iPad Mini 7; however, according to Clien — a South Korean social network — the price might be little higher than its previous model, iPad Mini 6. Well, I’m not surprised with it due to the fact that the current model is three years of age and price is supposed to increase.
How’s the Design?
Apple presented a new ‘square shaped’ design for the iPad Mini 6, settling on an all the more square and flat-sided look. This proposes that we might see a few minor changes or conceivably similar feel & look for the upcoming iPad Mini 7.
What are the Color Options?
What color do you like? Space Gray? Starlight? Pink? Or Purple? Well, iPad mini comes in all of the mentioned colors! However, if your appetite for the colors is not fulfilled and you want more, then seems like Apple has heard your stomach rumbling and taking the inspiration from its own iPhone 15, it might bring new colors like Black, Blue, Green, and Yellow for the 2024 version of the iPad Mini 7.
What about the Display?
Again, just a speculation that iPad Mini 7 will have LCD display. Moreover, Ross Young, a notable display industry insider, dismissed rumours that the display’s refresh rate may be expanded to 120Hz.
How’s the Camera?
Typically, iPads (especially iPad minis) have not been camera-driven gadgets. And if our guess is right, then we won’t see any major improvement here. But as a user, you, me, and others do expect an update in the camera (don’t we all buy these gadgets keeping camera as Top 3 reasons!).
Unfortunately, Apple is keeping it top secret! We still don’t want what they are doing with the camera; however, as per some rumoured-filled reports, the upcoming iPad Mini 7 may have Photonic Engine (this technology improves photographs and helps brightening-up the photos in low-light conditions).
Other potential upgrades incorporate ProRes video recording, sound zoom, sound system sound recording, representation mode, and Picture Lighting support.
How much is the Storage?
It is being speculated once again that Apple could potentially keep offering a base model of their devices with 64GB of storage, while also providing a higher-end option with 256GB capacity, which falls in line with their usual storage offerings.
How much is the Battery Duration?
Now-a-days, battery has become one of the most important factors when buying a mobile or an iPad. Users now not only use these devices for call/SMS, but also to run heavy-duty, battery-draining apps and games. And to run those battery-sucking things, users want the battery with exceptional endurance that can run for long and can charge quickly.
And since iPad Mini series is famous for its outstanding battery performance, it can be speculated that the new iPad Mini 7 will continue the tradition of having a good battery.
Furthermore, even Apple understands that anything less than what they are offering currently will not only anger their loyal customer base, but will also prevent the new buyers from buying their product.
What about the Processor?
It’s significant to remember that, in spite of Apple’s addition of M1, M2, and M4 chips to its iPad series, the iPad 6 actually still uses the A15 Bionic! This simply means that the processor upgrade is long overdue, and the iPad Mini 7 specifications require improvement.
As someone who always looks on the bright side, I am filled with optimism that the new iPad will include either an M1 or M2 chip, ensuring seamless compatibility with the other devices in the iPad lineup.
Conclusion
There has been no declaration with respect to the release date of iPad Mini 7, leaving us in anxious expectation for any updates. As the release date will come near, more details will come out, giving a clearer image of what’s in store from iPad Mini 7.
As of now, the iPad Mini 7 vows to be a commendable replacement to the iPad Mini 6, conveying state of the art innovation and premium features that take special care of a large number of users.
And for its loyal users, iPad series will remain top-notch device for its compact size.
