Alleged iPad Mini 5 Case Leaks

This case has under 3 gigs of ram.
I have an ipad mini 2 as well, and i am Definitely waiting. I know the 4 is better than the 2...but its over 3 yrs old already, and i just couldn’t convince myself to get one. Not even with the great holiday sales. Not worth it in my opinion. Especially with the possibility of the long awaited update just around the corner. I can wait a few months.
Kinda hard to gauge how legitimate this leak is with it being such a large and crisp photo. Don't worry, though, I can attempt to enhance it.

Lmao XD This stuff is too good!
Thank you for all the laughs this year and I hope 2019 brings you even more inspiration and you continue to spoil us with these gifs, bringing joy and laughter on these, often moody, message boards!
I’ll buy two, please, maxed out. Love my 4, do a ton of work on it, can’t go without one. Plus, small enough for easy travel.
Sorry to disappoint everyone, but that’s not an iPad Mini case.
That’s the case for the new, larger iPhone XSR Max.

For any iPhone or iPad that will be released next year, 4GB should be the minimum.

Personally, I don’t see the point of Apple releasing the iPad mini 5 without pencil support or what I would call the minimum of RAM any new iPhone/iPad should have in 2019, 4GB. Of course, Tim may $ee a point.
Could just be the case manufacturer hedging their bets.
Has this been true for other cases? Seems like an intrusive feature for something that rarely gets accessed.
The latest iPad has a headphone jack. The latest MacBook has a headphone jack. The only devices that consistently have been released without headphone jacks are the iPhones. The iPad Pros are the first iPads or to have it. It’s really inconsistent behavior by Apple.
I think it has to come with Pencil support. The question is whether it will be Pencil 1 or Pencil 2. Depending on Apple’s motivation behind making the Pencils incompatible with each other will determine what we get. Will the new Pencil fit on the side of the mini without hanging over the top and bottom edges? If not, my vote is for the Pencil 1, and a Lightning Port. If there’s a mini 6, it’ll require a complete upgrade of every accessory, and perhaps a Pencil mini, that is the same height as the mini.
Not if it shows the same fragility and thin screens of the current slew of iPad Pros. Those bendgate videos have put me right off. That headphone jack cut-out looks very unlikely to be genuine.
Extra RAM isn't free. It is a constant drain on the battery and the Mini starts with a smaller one.
A cutout for a smart connector (pogo pins) would be pointless -- whatever connects to it needs to sit flush. A cutout wouldn't help at all. Imagine a cutout for the pins on the side of the last gen. iPad Pro. Still couldn't connect a keyboard...
