The Apple iPad Mini 5 is slated to be released in March 2017, although none of the rumors on the Internet have been confirmed.
Analyst Ming Chi-Kuo foresees that the Apple iPad Mini 5 will hit the market in 2017, as Apple events for this year are over.
It is thought that the iPad Mini 5's specs will be like the Apple iPad Pro 2's. However, there is a hot dispute over whether the specs of the iPad Mini 5 has or has not abandoned that line.
Current Apple upgrades show that the iPad Mini 5 will no longer show a 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, it will bring in USB Type-C ports. It could reveal a similar battery as the iPad Mini 4. Some major upgrades are expected with the release.
A minimum of 2GB RAM and internal storage capacity of 13-128GB can be expected, but that depends on the variant that is bought. Next year, it is expected that the iOS 11 will be ready to launch, and the Mini may be powered by the latest operating system from Apple. It is thought that the A10 processor will be released too.
The latest Apple iPad Mini 5 will be thinner than its predecessor, according to Macworld. Even if Apple does release an iPad Mini 5, it would probably be the last of its line. Later, the Mini line is expected to get renamed and become part of the iPad Pro 2 family.
Enthusiasts are waiting for the latest release of Apple iPad Mini 5, expecting its design and performance to be "completely different from its predecessors."
