This is the 5th generation of the smallest Apple tablets and the first product upgrade since September 2015. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For a while, Apple seemingly abandoned the iPad mini and focused on the 9.7-inch, entry-level iPad instead. In a world where flagship smartphones grew well beyond 6 inches, a 7-inch tablet can hardly fit anywhere, but Apple is still optimistic about the iPad mini comeback. This tablet remains  popular, especially after a price cut in March 2017. Now a 128GB capacity iPad mini 4 costs $399. (Compare it to Apple iPad 32GB (2018) Wi-Fi only, with Retina Display, A10 Fusion chip,and Apple Pencil Support,for $319.) <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As China Times reports, Apple switched to less expensive LED panels by Korean company BOE in order to cut the final device price. Ruiyi, a company that produces backlight modules for Cupertino, remains the largest beneficiary and hopes for massive production growth. The new supply chain starts work in late December 2018, just when we\u2019re putting away Christmas decorations. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The iPad mini 5 will be introduced together with the 9.7-inch entry-level iPad 6, which will get a 10-inch screen and narrower frame. The release date is still uncertain, and as always, the experts\u2019 opinions vary. Ming-Chi Kuo, a famous Apple analyst, is sure that the new tablet will arrive in early 2019, while DigiTimes claims that there are no \u201cfurther plans\u201d for smaller tablets. We at iGotOffer bet for an early Spring 2019 release, because iPad 4 and iPad 5 were both introduced on March 24. First leaks has already surfaced on the Internet, and \u00a0IT Home published a picture of the alleged iPad mini 5 case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/apple-releases-ipad-mini-5-in-2019-case-1.jpg\" alt=\"Source of image: ithome.com.\" class=\"wp-image-10851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/apple-releases-ipad-mini-5-in-2019-case-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/apple-releases-ipad-mini-5-in-2019-case-1-132x150@2x.jpg 264w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/apple-releases-ipad-mini-5-in-2019-case-1-620x706.jpg 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/apple-releases-ipad-mini-5-in-2019-case-1-132x150.jpg 132w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/apple-releases-ipad-mini-5-in-2019-case-1-600x683.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/apple-releases-ipad-mini-5-in-2019-case-1-264x300@2x.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption> Source of image: ithome.com. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A vertical camera cutout suggests an iPad Pro-like camera arrangement.

A cutout at the side hints that iPad mini 5 will get a Smart Connector for a Smart Keyboard \u2014 but will it be comfortable to type on such a small keyboard?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If the new iPad mini 5 has at least half these features the tablet lineup will be a mess. Users will have a hard time choosing a compact iPad over a larger one with fewer features. Does this new policy have something to do with a 6% drop in iPad sales this year? Is Apple going to bridge the gap between the low-end iPad and iPad Pro? We\u2019ll wait and see!
