The reference and title of the video just feels like shameless click bait to me.
It’s nonsense. The whole “Pro mini” idea is just a wild goose chase and people wishing for it are just going to constantly get dissapointed, year after year.
Exactly, the usual fake news YouTube hot air click bait that makes the tech rumours field over there. Yawnfest.
Face ID isn’t happening. I’m sure there’ll be a Air 4 style Mini eventually as Apple wouldn’t have developed a whole new Touch ID tech just for one mid range tablet.
I liked the renders in that the headphone jack still appeared to be there, but yeah, they didn’t make any sense. It looked like USB-C to me when he said he thought it would be lightening and it showed what looked like a camera flash. Lightening and a camera flash would make no sense given that the USB-C Air doesn’t have a flash.
Mini Pro starting at $499, I don’t think so. A Mini Pro would also mean they’d have to give it 5G alongside the regular Pros, similar to the iPhone 12 situation. By keeping it as a regular Mini, 5G gets them a 7th generation with minimal changes and cost.

That mockup with the home button and full screen... I feel it's totally fake.

Some Twitter rando. The same guy that said it was going to have a hole punch. Both of which were extremely sketchy predictions especially now with this more reputable report
Leaked Dummy Units Show iPad Mini 6 With Thick Bezels and Home Button, New iPad Pro Models
Rumors suggest Apple will release refreshed versions of the iPad mini and iPad Pro models in the first half of this year, potentially as soon as this month, and a new leak today has provided us with a possible preview of what to expect in terms of the devices' overall design and camera...

Why the iPad Mini hate? Maybe hate is too strong of a word. But you are not the only one I read in these forums who puts it down or wonders why anybody would ever own one. I use one and I have owned every version except for the Mini 3. If I am using a Mini and others are as well, then there is a market for it, even though you may not be part of that market. I may very well buy a Mini 6, depending on its price and specifications. I love the size of the device.
The more reputable report is tragic. I will probably keep reading books on my Mini 2, if there’s not going to be an all-screen design like the Air4 and Pros.
Very unclear how this is an improvement over the Mini 5.
I've used iPad mini 2 since 2014. I wouldnt get another iPad mini.
And this personal anecdote is indicative of market demands how exactly...?
A Mini Pro makes no sense for Apple. The Mini is already a small market. They're not going to create an even more expensive Mini that would have an even smaller market. The profits on that kind of device would be in the dumpster. The best we're going to get would be a redesigned Mini that would be similar to the Air.
Yeah, I guess so. The iPhone 12 mini isn't selling well. I don't think any of Apple's "mini" products sell well (other than the HomePod mini).
Better ones at that size? Mini size is brilliant.
That’s all I’m asking for. I went mini 4 -> 5 for the extra processor. I’ll do so again when the 6 comes out. Civilization VI is my iOS game of choice.
The mini has been expensive, but at least it has been coming with an Air display.
I even doubt the HomePod mini sells well. Maybe better Thema the fail of the one before but that’s probably not the bar to measure with.
The HomePod mini sold out though.
Apple’s HomePod Mini Sells Out on Day One
What does this mean for Apple’s plans for the home? I have to admit that I’ve been more excited about some of Apple’s “other” rumored devices than the iPhone this year…

I just want an apple mini with the design of the iPad Air, just to read my books, I refuse to buy an iPad with that outdated design, and I always hated the physical button!
