During fiscal 2020, Apple has seen a boom in tablet sales thanks to the pandemic. The company sold $ 23.72 billion worth of iPad units over fiscal 2020 for a year-on-year profit of 11.5%; some employees had (and still are forced) to work from home and children turn to tablets for their homeschooling and distance learning needs. In addition, iPads offer users of all ages entertainment options.
According to Mac Otakara, Apple plans to launch a sixth-generation iPad mini this March. The Japanese website lists sources that work within Apple’s supply chain. Perhaps the biggest improvement is the larger screen on the new model, which is expected to be 8.4 inches compared to the 7.9 inch screen used on all previous versions of the device. Unlike the new generation Air iPad, the new iPad mini Touch ID holds at the bottom. The latest iPad Air integrates the fingerprint sensor with the button’s on / off button. One possible change to the sixth generation iPad mini will lead to a narrower framework similar to 2019’s third generation iPad Air.

The new Mac Otakara report concludes with a letter sent to TF International customers back in May by preliminary analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The latter is so attached to the business that he can tell you what the soup of the day will be in the Apple Cafeteria in three years. The analyst said eight months ago that Apple’s 2021 iPad mini will carry a 9-inch screen with mini-LED technology. The device can be powered by Apple’s current A14 Bionic disk drive; this component is already in the new iPad Air (2020) and the iPhone 12 series. It is manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm process node and contains a large jump in the number of transistors in each chip from 8.5 billion to 11.8 billion, making the new integrated circuit more powerful and energy efficient.
In March 2019, Apple updated the iPad mini for the first time since 2015 the fifth generation iPad mini is equipped with a 7nm A12 Bionic chipset with 6.9 billion transistors. Apple has added support for the first generation Apple Pencil with this device.
