The Apple iPad mini half dozen is expected to debut sometime this year, and supply concatenation leaks suggest that the next version of Apple's pint-sized tablet volition sport a larger screen. And a new render that surfaced this week has shed farther light on what you might be able to expect from the next iPad mini.

Accessories maker Pigtou has published photos and video of a 3D-printed model of a image of the upcoming iPad mini 6 5G, sourced by known leaker David of @xleaks, and the large takeaway appears to be that the new design may take slimmer bezels and more rounded edges than the electric current iPad mini.

While the size of the tablet seems likely to change little, trimming down the bezels may aid Apple tree's upcoming iPad mini vi achieve significantly more screen space than the current iPad mini's seven.nine-inch brandish. Pigtou notes that the image model photographed also has an indentation below the screen, suggesting that the next iPad mini (like previous models) will send with a Touch on ID abode button.

The iPad mini vi was already expected to hew close to its predecessor's $399 to $499 toll range, and these leaked paradigm models offering little reason to await a meaning price alter when the production hits shelves.

Leaked renders should always be taken with a grain of salt, though it's not uncommon for accompaniment makers to get an early on hint every bit to the size and shape of devices so that they tin have accessories gear up to get once the finished product is.

The fact that renders are surfacing now may exist a sign that the iPad mini is getting closer to a ship date. Many observers wait that there will be an Apple April event before long in which new iPads take center stage. That said, we think it's far more than likely that Apple would focus on a new iPad Pro 2021 than an iPad mini.

Apart from the thinner bezel and larger screen, the iPad mini 6 is expected to feature an upgraded A13 processor and possibly a display that uses mini-LED technology instead of an OLED console.
