The iPad mini 5 is being highly talked about since its predecessor was released over a year ago back in September of 2015. Many experts think that it has been long overdue and they want to get their hands on a better and maybe even smaller version of the mini. Speculations and rumors have been circulating especially that it is already the beginning of March.
According to Mac World UK, it is expected that Apple will be releasing mini versions and other devices with design changes, updated specs and new features which may make it one of the best, if not the best 8-inch tablet in the market. Several reports point out to this month being the debut of the much-awaited iPad mini 5. However, this doesn't hold any water as Apple has not released any official news about it.
This report may have sprung from the Chinese-language site Wei Feng. The site said back in January that updated iPads may be announced this month. Well, if Apple were to indeed release the new line of minis including iPad mini 5, then it would have given bits and pieces of information way ahead of schedule for the information of many. They wouldn't be coming out with any updates with just them knowing about it, would they?

Analyzing the release behavior of Apple, iPad mini 4 was released back in September 2015. This was a little surprising as it came a month ahead of schedule as a new line of products are usually introduced at their October event. This is an interesting item to think about as Apple suggests its unpredictability in terms of releasing new products.
The iPad mini 5 may actually come to fruition though it was not suggested directly. Taking the cue from Ming-Chi Kuo report issued in January 2017, Apple is reported to release three new iPads such as a 12.9-inch successor to iPad Pro, 10 to 10.5-inch high-end model and 9.7-inch lower priced option. Many speculate that the third iPad will eventually be named as the iPad mini 5.
As added by Tech Radar, the iPad mini 5, if it comes to fruition is predicted to look similar like its predecessor so expect a slim metal shell. However, Apple may make it slimmer than the current 6.1mm measurement. Apple may take it to the next level by making it slimmer than ever at 5mm. It is also believed to stay loyal to its 1536 x 2048 display resolution. The camera will be at 8-megapixel for rear facing and 1.2-megapixel for the front.
Any official news leading to the possible release of iPad mini 5 will immediately be reported. It is interesting, however, that more and more reports provide a good idea of its possible release. The best is to stay tuned as Apple will surely release any statement. For entertainment value, it is interesting to see the video below to see how the future iPad mini 5 may look like.
