Do you know how sometimes you read conflicting rumours? That's the case for the iPad mini. While a recent rumour suggested that Apple could choose to ditch the form factor for a larger iPhone, another rumour suggests that there will still be one in 2021.

According to Naver blog (via Notebookcheck), Apple is getting ready to launch an iPad mini Pro in the second half of 2021. It will feature an 8.7-inch display, making it notably bigger than the previous iPad mini's 7.9-inch. This model will cover the gap between the iPad mini 6 and iPad Air 4. Since the previous model had an A12 Bionic chipset, this new model would probably use the A13 or a variant of the A14 Bionic.

Interestingly, there was a previous rumour about the iPad mini 6 that had some related details. It's possible that the standard iPad mini 6 would be on the lower end with an 8.4-inch display, while the Pro variant will have an 8.7-inch or larger display. If this is true, the iPad mini 6 series would all come with larger displays than its predecessor.

Of course, this is assuming Apple doesn't ditch the iPad mini series as previously rumoured. Having said that, would you prefer a larger iPad mini or just go for an iPad Air? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
