Apple's Next iPad Mini Is in the Works, Analyst Says

From CNET: Apple is working on a new iPad Mini with a fresh processor aimed for release late next year or in the first half of 2024, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted in a tweet on Tuesday. 

He also said it's unlikely Apple will replace the Mini with a foldable iPad in 2025 because a foldable device would cost much more than a Mini, making it a poor proposition as a Mini replacement. Kuo is a widely followed analyst with a reputation for reliable Apple predictions. 

Apple didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment. 

The iPad Mini last got a refresh in 2021, up to its sixth generation, giving Apple's ultraportable tiny tablet a better display, a USB-C port instead of Lightning, a stronger processor and improved cameras -- plus it added the ability to magnetically snap an Apple Pencil onto the gadget's side.
