I very much doubt it.
A mini that could do Stage Manager on an external display would have been great.

did apple fire its entire hardware design department or something?
The minor upgrades will continue until morale improves -Tim Cook, probably
I just bought the sage coloured case for my gen 6. That'll do for me.
I've been waiting for a long form interview where he blames this complacency on "remote work" or something
So many people complaining about "missing" features, and all I care about is that Genshin Impact is going to be extra snappy on this new hardware. 
You don't like it, okay how about we GO BACK a generation instead? You don't like 7, okay how about gen 5, is that better? Okay mister, you bought yourself a generation back. 4 it is. Now 3. 2. 1, I'll go in the negatives if I have to. I'll have you guys on outdated tech for the rest of your natural born lives! -Tim Cook, probably
Spec bump. You get a much better iPad Mini than you did yesterday for the same price. Would I like to see a iPad Mini Pro? Sure, but guess Apple's metrics just don't justify that. Personally I'd rather see an additional iPhone Pro model (maybe not mini but at least smaller than what we have) which I think would sell in much higher volumes than a 3rd iPad Pro size!
What a weak update. I was hoping for an always on display so I could use it as my bedside clock on a dock. Apple is getting so unbelievably boring
It's been 3 years
"better for the same price" is the absolute, barely above the floor level, expectation for any new product
Apple gets ZERO credit for that
Does it still have pathetic screen with jelly scrolling issue?
I preordered one specifically because of this. I love my mini, but had to stop using it a month or so after getting it because it was giving me headaches using it because of the jelly scrolling. Rumors pointed to this update switching the direction of the screen refresh, so I'm crossing my fingers it's fixed. If not, I'll return it.
128GB is nice, but no screen improvements mentioned is concerning.
So you would have rather Apple just not upgrade it at all and also give them ZERO credit... There is no difference to you?
Similar to the iPhone 15 Pro, Stage Manager has not yet been implemented.

It's fine to spec bump it, yes - of course!
One would hope for that -- finally -- it's been out for 3 years
But it's also very understandable why so many of us are reacting how we are
When a product gets updated only every 3 years, the expectation, rightly, is for far more since it's going to be "set in stone" for years to come now
This thing isn't 'Pro' in Apple's eyes (wish they made one, though!), so I knew it wouldn't do 120Hz, but I was hoping they'd at least thin it out a bit and slim the bezels with a bigger screen. We're just disappointed that we waited so long for an update just to see a spec bump.
Personally, I think that other poster is right in that Apple intends to let the Mini die on the vine.
Everyone will be probably be expected to buy the iPhone 19 Ultra Pro Turbo Max Plus for $2999
I disagree, this isn’t even worthy of being called an upgrade. They should’ve just skipped releasing this altogether.
People are always going to complain no matter what. The mini 7 is a nice improvement over the biggest complaints I had with it, RAM and base storage.
They’ve fixed that along with other minor updates and kept it at the same price. I wished it would’ve had the A18 for efficiency, but having a chip that was only available in a $1000 phone last year isn’t so bad.
