Leaks suggest that Apple could announce the iPad mini 7 soon, with a potential release date set for 1st November, creating excitement among enthusiasts.
Apple enthusiasts may soon be treated to the release of the much-anticipated iPad mini 7, with fresh leaks indicating that the new model is expected to ship on Friday, 1st November. This follows predictions that an official announcement could be made towards the end of October. The potential release of the iPad mini 7 has generated significant buzz, particularly given that the tablet’s predecessor, the iPad mini 6, is now being sold at clearance prices, typically a sign that a new product launch is imminent.
The information, which comes from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, carries weight, considering Gurman’s credible history of accurately reporting Apple-related news. The anticipated launch event in October aligns with previous speculation about an autumn Apple event, adding further credibility to these recent rumours.
The introduction of the iPad mini 7 would be a significant update in Apple’s product lineup since the iPad mini released in 2021 is decidedly due for an upgrade. Despite excitement around the new mini, fans of other Apple tablets may face a longer wait. According to Gurman, new models are unlikely to be introduced across Apple’s broader tablet range until potentially the first half of 2025. This timeline hints at the launch of new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models and a possible debut of the iPhone SE 4 during that period.
In particular, there was no mention of the iPad Pro or iPad 11 in the anticipated upcoming releases. The iPad Pro (2024) has only recently been launched and thus, new models in this line are typically not expected so soon. Curiously, there was also no news regarding the iPad 11, despite the fact that the current iPad model, the iPad 10.9, will be nearing two years in the market by 2025.
Customers eagerly awaiting updates to Apple’s base or high-end iPad series will have to exercise patience, as the rollout of new models appears to be focused on the iPad mini for now. As Apple has not officially confirmed these details, tech fans are advised to stay tuned to official announcements from the tech giant in the coming weeks for the most reliable information.
