iPad Mini 7 with Apple Intelligence may launch soon

Apple is all set to host an event on September 9. The annual launch show with the tagline “It’s Glowtime” is expected to reveal the iPhone 16 lineup, along with a new Apple Watch and a new pair of AirPods Pro. While we wait for the big launch event, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has fueled rumors that Apple could finally unveil the iPad mini 7 soon. Apple Stores are reportedly running out of stock of the current iPad mini. The iPad mini has not been updated since 2021.

Mark Gurman at X states that the current iPad mini 6 is falling short in many Apple Stores, with the brand internally considering the tablet to be in “limited supply.” This suggests that an upgrade to the tablet is likely coming soon.

The Apple analyst hasn’t confirmed any details about the iPad mini 7 yet, but he claims it could come with Apple Intelligence support.

New iPad Mini Could Join iPhone 16 Series on September 9

Apple’s iPhone launch events are also a stage for additional hardware updates. The company also announced the iPad mini 6 (Review) at its September 2021 event alongside the iPhone 13 lineup, suggesting that the upgraded mini 7 could arrive as early as next month.

The iPad Mini 6 features an A15 Bionic processor and is priced at Rs. 64,900 for the Wi-Fi variant with 256GB storage. The seventh-generation iPad Mini is also expected to come with Apple Intelligence features, which means the tablet is likely to get a major processor upgrade over the A15 SoC of the previous-generation iPad Mini.
