I loved my iPad mini 5. It was the best iPad I had ever owned until I got my iPad Pro 11” in June. I would have been looking for a mini refresh otherwise. I can’t see going back to the mini after using the 11” iPad Pro.
I doubt we will see anything before the end of next year.

Doubt it. The latest iPad Air didn't even get it.. but it makes sense for the iPad Mini to get the same design language of the latest iPad Air and iPad Pro. However, there's still the iPad with the home button. It's just pricing seems a bit off.iPad mini with 120Hz?
Standard iPad $329, then you get a bump in price for a smaller display with the iPad "Mini" $400.. but I would think Apple would raise the price even higher if they change the design of it.
dude literally has put "60% accurate" in his bio
let's not give credits to actors shall we

Yeah, even though he might not be accurate. But it's not out of realm of possibilities... it's pretty much a smaller version of the latest iPad Air. And the iPad Mini is in need of a refresh, but what have me concern is whether they raise the price.
I would love a Mini based on the 2020 Air. Would be great if true.
Sounds like it could be true, especially since they increased the standard iPad from 9.7 to 10.2. Especially all the talk about mini LED, I could see 8.5 from 7.9.
A smaller version of the Air 4 with the same body size as the Mini 5.... that’ll be a hot seller. Bigger screen with smaller bezels. And tap to wake if anyone really likes that like I do.
Mini has mostly been modeled as a shrunken down version of an Air.
Mini 2 was shrunken down from Air 1
Mini 3 was same as Mini 2 but with Touch ID.
Mini 4 was shrunken down Air 2
Mini 5 was shrunken down Air 3
So it wouldn’t be a stretch to see a Mini 6 as a shrunken down Air 4?

Exactly what I was thinking. The Air and mini 2 launched together (roughly), the mini 4 was about 1 year after the Air 2, and the mini 5 did launch with the Air 3.
Next spring would be nice timing to have an iPad event with the new mini and updated iPad Pros I think.
Yes can definitely see the mini 6 being a like for like in terms of specs, shrunken down IPad Air 4, just like the Air 3/Mini 5.
I’m a little disappointed that it will be more of an 2020 air-like mini rather than a mini pro. But regardless I’m itching to buy it. I would have liked Face ID and the lidar cameras. But I “downgraded” my iPhone 11 Pro to a 12 mini. I’ll have no problems “downgrading” my 11” iPP for an iPad mini with the new air-like design
I want a mini similar to iPad Pro, that supports HDR, and has speakers at each corner not something that is muffled when holding it normally.
Buy this on announcement. Please, Apple. Make the camera flush with the body. My iPhones my camera. I don’t need a camera bump on my iPads.
iPad mini 1-4 had a yearly schedule, you can’t really extrapolate from the 4-5 gap.
Back in the early ipad mini days there were competitions like the Nexus 7. Now, there's no more competition in the premium small tablet market. All Android small tablets are aiming at the sub $200 segment. Apple can maintain the current mini for years with no competition at all.
Agree. I’d love to get a “mini pro”. It would be perfect to take to work for notes and game.
