Summary
Apple’s own code and product images point to an iPad mini 8 with an A20 Pro chip, a landscape front camera and a redesigned speaker setup, suggesting the device is close to launch.
The leaked front images show the mini becoming the last iPad to shift its selfie camera to landscape orientation, while keeping the volume and power buttons on the top edge.
A small groove cut into the top display glass appears to house part of the speaker system, backing earlier reporting that Apple is adding a new vibration-based speaker and water resistance.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said the next iPad mini should arrive by late October, with other rumored upgrades including a slightly larger screen and an OLED display.
