With the iPhone 7 all set for a much-awaited debut, some are playing with the belief that it may not be the only one appearing this September in New York. Some may have come across the MacBook Pro 2016 rumors which could debut alongside it but now another Apple product has been inserted into the fray – the iPad Mini 5.
Right now, most are coming from speculations. No factual leaks have come out though no one can blame folks for resorting to wishful thinking. Apple barely touched on a possible successor since the iPad Mini 4.
Speaking of the name, it may not even be an iPad Mini 5. A name change could be forthcoming and a lot of that is tied up to the iPad Pro. As one would guess, many are calling it a possible iPad Mini Pro.
As far as its coming, an iPad Mini 5 or iPad Mini Pro could come out though it seems unlikely to happen in the coming weeks. The fact remains that Apple is dialed in to make the launch solely about the iPhone 7, the latest flagship that needs all the boost it can get.
If not this September, there is still time for the iPad Mini 5 to come out before 2016 comes to a close. That could be alongside the MacBook Pro 2016 assuming that Apple does not out it alongside the iPhone 7.
With regards to the potential specs of the iPad Mini 5, the word out is that it will come with the same 8 MP main camera and a 1.2 MP front-facing shooter. It could come integrated with Apple’s vaunted 3D Touch feature and likely a better chipset.
The name change could make sense though it would be best to hold off for now. Until Apple comes out with an official statement for it, the iPad Mini 5’s state is technically floating for now.
