Will the iPad Mini 7 be released at the end of October? Leaks suggest an improved display and new chip options

However, despite this improvement, the iPad Mini 7 is still expected to have a 60Hz refresh rate and still use LCD technology. The “jelly scrolling” issue on the previous iPad Mini 6 has led to a class action lawsuit against Apple, with some users claiming the flaw renders the device “unusable.” Apple’s updates to the new iPad Mini 7 aim to address these concerns.

As for performance, 9to5Mac reports that the iPad Mini 7 is expected to feature a more powerful chip than its predecessor, which comes with the A15 Bionic processor. While Apple has not yet confirmed which chip the iPad Mini 7 will use, speculation suggests that it could be powered by the A17 Pro chip or the A18 chip, both of which provide significant performance improvements and Apple Intelligence support for the device would bring with it.

Other expected upgrades include support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, enabling faster connectivity and improved Wi-Fi performance. According to Instant Digital on Weibo, the iPad Mini 7 will also be available in a range of new colors beyond the current Purple, Starlight, Pink and Space Gray options. The same source indicates that the iPad Mini 7 will feature an improved camera, although details on these improvements are still limited.

As Bloomberg reports, Apple is expected to unveil the iPad Mini 7 around the end of October, along with the launch of its first M4-powered Macs. The new devices are expected to be available for purchase from Friday, November 1st.
