As well as a boosted 8.3in display in the same form factor as its older sibling, the iPad mini 6 sports a refined design similar to that of the iPad Air and iPad Pro, along with A15 Bionic performance and support for the second-gen Apple Pencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a great tablet, but the next-gen iPad mini 7 is likely in the early stages of development behind closed doors at Apple Park \u2013 and early whispers suggest a moderate, but still interesting, upgrade could be in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what to expect from the iPad mini 7, from release date and pricing predictions to the latest rumours and our predictions for the next-gen tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When will the iPad mini 7 be released?<br>\nThe big question is, when will we see the reveal of the iPad mini 7? While it\u2019s far too early for Apple to officially confirm the existence of the next-gen tablet, we can look at previous releases to get a good idea of what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the good news. The bad news? The iPad mini doesn\u2019t get regular updates like the entry-level iPad and iPad Pro, which tend to get updated once a year. Like the iPad Air, the iPad mini\u2019s history is a little more complicated, with varying lengths of time between each generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how that shapes up over the past few generations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iPad mini 6: 24 September 2021<br>\niPad mini 5: 18 March 2019<br>\niPad mini 4: 9 September 2015<br>\nAs you can see, the release schedule is sporadic. It\u2019s arguably got a new lease of life with the redesign and price increase, so Apple could update it more regularly going forward, but we\u2019d still expect a longer gap between updates than others in the company\u2019s tablet collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all that in mind, we\u2019d say the chances of seeing a new iPad mini in 2022 are slim \u2013 but not impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\n  &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/battery-pc-laptop_Lab.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Laptop Battery<\/a> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/hotproduct.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Products<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPad mini had a new lease of life with the release of the sixth-gen tablet, offering a substantial upgrade over what came before it.
