If Mini 5 had stereo speakers and solid touch ID button I'd own one but right now I'd rather use my 7 Plus because of these two things. Fingers crossed these come to Mini 6.
?? The Mini 5 does have stereo speakers (both of them at one end) and also solid touch id in the home button.

OK I'll make it clearer: Having two speakers on the bottom only does not create stereo. I would want a top and bottom firing speaker (sound from two different locations).

And the home button currently is the mushy mechanical button so I hope this is replaced for the pressure sensitive button.

I was browsing IPad cases on Aliexpress the other day and some the sellers had some tpu cases listed for iPad Mini 2021.
Go figure, perhaps one will come sooner than autumn?

If you are buying an iPad as a laptop replacement it's worth buying an air or pro. I you draw or write on it a lot, the pro is worth the upgrade to get the faster screen refresh rate and a better writing experience.

If you have a laptop, the mini is the best iPad. Being able to hold it in one hand makes it much more useful. If you are going to work at a table, just use your laptop and get more done faster with the better OS. A 256GB iPad Pro with magic keyboard costs more than a 256GB MBA and weighs nearly as much.

I really want the Rose Gold so would probably keep my Mini 5 on those specs. Wouldn’t want to buy a colour I don’t really like to have the latest and greatest only for a colour I like to be released later a la iPhone 12.

I gave up waiting. 11” Pro on order!
Keen to hear how you find the Pro. I've currently got a Mini 2 that's on its last legs and, looking at the current iPad line up, I've come to the unexpected conclusion that the Pro may be the next step.
