New iPad mini might be coming soon
Apple's iPad mini hasn't been updated since 2021, but there are signs that a new one is coming. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has noticed that "many" Apple stores are low on stock of the iPad mini in several configurations. The device, he says, is internally considered "constrained."

This could mean that Apple is looking to launch a new iPad mini soon, though Gurman did not offer any clues as to whether that may happen at the upcoming iPhone launch event, scheduled for Sept. 9.

This is not the first time we heard about a new iPad mini being in the works. In July, reports said that Apple is planning to launch a new iPad mini in 2024, and there were clues that the device would come with Apple's A17 chip. This should make the iPad mini capable of running Apple Intelligence, and Gurman said he "wouldn't be surprised to see it updated for AI."

The iPad mini was last updated in October 2021, with a completely new design, including a larger display, narrower bezels, a Touch ID button built into the power button, and Apple's A15 Bionic processor. It's an excellent device and my favorite iPad ever, but it could use an update, especially in the chip department.
