New leak reveals iPad mini with A20 Pro chip and revised camera placement
References to Apple’s next iPad mini and an alleged product icon were found in the company’s code. The leak points to an A20 Pro chip, a relocated camera and a release by the end of October, but Apple has not confirmed the details.
References to Apple’s next-generation iPad mini, including an alleged product icon, have been found in the company’s code. The leak says the tablet will use a more powerful A20 Pro chip and could launch by the end of October.
The icon indicates that the device will retain the current model’s overall design. However, the camera is reportedly moving from the top bezel to the side for landscape use, matching other iPad models.
Camera placement and speaker changes
The code also appears to show a small speaker cutout at the top of the display, similar to the iPhone. Separate reports point to a new speaker system and improved water resistance.
A20 Pro replaces A17 Pro
The references link the new iPad mini to the A20 Pro chip, also used in the iPhone 18 Pro models launched last week. The current iPad mini, released in October 2024, uses Apple’s A17 Pro.
Mark Gurman expects the device to arrive by the end of October. Apple has not confirmed the reported specifications or release timing.
