Apple To Launch iPad Mini 7 And iPad Air 6 This Month: Rumors

There are new hints about the imminent launch of new iPads. We’re talking about a new iPad mini 7 and a new iPad Air 6. Both could come onto the market this month.

Well-known leaker reveals more details

The rumors regarding the upcoming iPad updates have been around for a while, but now a well-known leaker “Instant Digital” has shared new details on Weibo. This is reported by the online magazine MacRumors.

Apple could therefore bring new products onto the market in October 2023. “Instant Digital” has already received some reliable information in the past and is now predicting the launch of two revised iPad models.

Details about the updates

The Weibo user mentions that “the seventh generation iPad mini (A16), the first generation Apple Pencil (USB-C interface), the eleventh generation iPad and the sixth generation iPad Air (M2)” are still ahead and could be released at the end of this month.

We had already reported on the iPad mini a few weeks ago when there were the first concrete details about it in the rumor mill .

The other two supposedly planned new launches are interesting. The sixth generation iPad Air is likely to be equipped with the M2 chip. The M2 chip is the successor to Apple’s M1 chip and offers greater efficiency, faster processing speed, and many other improvements.

USB-C port for the Apple Pencil

The rumor also suggests that Apple plans to introduce a modified first-generation Apple Pencil with a USB-C port instead of Lightning – this change is due to EU requirements.

Experts expect that Apple will definitely present a number of new devices in October either via a “mini event” or simply via a press release. In addition to the iPads, new Macs are also expected in time for the Christmas business.
