Apple's upcoming iPad Pro and Mini models are leaked
Source: IO Tech added 20th Jan 2021The new iPad Pro models appear to remain unchanged in appearance due to leaks, but the iPad Mini 6 is expected to be significantly redesigned.
Based on the leaks and rumors, the iPad Pro models seem to follow a familiar line, looking similar to the Pro series already released in 2018. The LiDAR sensor, introduced last year to support two rear cameras, would still appear to be included in the equipment, as well as the familiar magnetic mounts for pen and keyboard, as well as the USB Type-C connection.
There is still no certainty about the pulsating system circuit inside the leaks. In addition to the latest smartphone circuitry, A derivative of the new iPad Pro models could be expected to be based on. iPad Pro 01 However, in the case of 9, rumors are talking about a possible screen upgrade to the OLED panel, which would be quite a significant change from previously used IPS panels. There have been no similar leaks or rumors about the iPad Pro models, with the exception of their size, have remained largely technically equivalent
.
In addition to the iPad Pro models, the redesigned iPad Mini 6 would also be coming this year, according to the leaks. This is the first major visual upgrade in the entire Mini Series lifecycle. The iPad Mini 6 would appear to shrink the edges of the screen, making them clearly thinner than their predecessor models, similar to the Pro series in the past and the iPad Air last year. Despite the smaller edges of the screen, the external dimensions are believed to remain unchanged and instead the screen is said to have grown to 9, 14.
In appearance, the new iPad Mini does little to resemble its sibling models, but is clearly unique. The structure, like other new Apple models, has not moved to an angular design, but instead has remained in the familiar rounded body. As the screen grows and the edges shrink, Apple is also said to be moving to use a front camera located in a hole in the center of the top of the screen. The traditional home button and the integrated fingerprint reader have also been abandoned. However, the fingerprint reader is still found in the repertoire and, according to leaks, is placed under the screen (in renderings, it is a visible hole in the screen, probably to clarify the location). Both of the above solutions would be Apple’s first time on any of its devices.
Regarding feature coverage, rumors have appeared in the Apple iPhone 11 collection of the familiar A 14 Bionic system circuit, but usually included in the mini-series of the cheaper end of the Apple tablet series also in the previous year’s A 13 may be a possible option.
There are no more specific leaks from the release of the new iPad Pro models yet, but it is expected to happen as usual at Apple’s WWDC trade fair, which is usually held in early summer (May-June). The launch of the revamped iPad Mini is rumored to take place in March.
