Rumors are we will get a new iPad mini later this month. The seventh generation iPad mini looks to have several nice improvements with better specs, an A18 chip, and hopefully support for the Apple Pencil Pro. But overall, it’s going to be the same iPad mini.

So many people in the MacSparky Labs have asked me about Apple releasing an iPad mini Pro. The iPad mini is a perfect mobile device for many folks, but they’d like just a bit more power and features as you get with the iPad Pro in the other sizes. Why not make one with the best possible screen and the improved “Pro” design aesthetics?

I’m sure Apple has researched this and, for whatever reason, decided not to make one. But I can tell you that among the MacSparky Labs folks, an iPad mini Pro would be popular.
