If you were hoping to do with a new iPad mini In the next few weeks, you may get a little disappointment soon. Although the rumor had already sounded at some point or other, again the claim that Apple will not release a new version iPad in small format coming soon. Is the iPad mini doomed to oblivion?
Bloomberg has been in charge of unleashing again the concerns of the most fanatical of this Apple model. The American media has published an article detailing some of the the ads we will see in the next event at the Cupertino house and in which, of course, the three supposed versions of the iPhone that will take the stage are mentioned. Mark Gurman and Debby Wu elaborate on all the details of this long-awaited launch, in which there is no shortage of comments on the two long-awaited versions of the high-end OLED screen or the update that the camera would undergo to adapt to the fierce competition.
Beyond iPhones, it is also assured that Apple has been working on some new AirPods, an AirPower wireless charger, a new Apple Watch and in the update of the line of iPad Pro tablets of the house (with version of 11 and 12,9 inches) for this 2018.
The great absentee? The iPad mini. Well, what is said absent is not, and is that journalists reserve a few lines to indicate that the iPad mini, which was last updated in 2015, will not be renewed in the remainder of the year -like the 9,7 ″ iPad, although this is much more recent, from March 2018. The information comes from a person close to the company's plans, they indicate.
iPad mini, the great forgotten
The iPad mini has always been a model with both fans and detractors. While many found in this format the perfect size -including myself-, others did not understand their proposal and could opt for a more generous screen equipment and better features. Nor has Apple been very helpful in trying to change this. As we say, the equipment has not been updated since 2015 and inside it mounts a A8 processor, the same chip that the iPhone 6 carries. Gizmodo They couldn't be more devastating with their conclusion: the current iPad mini carries components from four years ago. It is said soon.
Does this mean that the iPad mini It is going away? It could be an option. The indifference of Tim Cook's firm towards this model makes us fear the worst in a market in which phones are getting bigger and bigger and the average sizes of this type lose a lot of sense. Do you have an iPad mini? Seems an obsolete format to you?
