Maybe. I’m actually interested if there will be any software changes or changes to the keyboard. Is it possible for them to keep iPad only software changes hidden so no developer could uncover them?
Got a tip for us?

And if there is no update, at least drop the asking price. $399 for the dated iPad Mini 4 is just bananas.
My prediction (everyone is entitled to a prediction):
1. Face ID on the new iPad will be a failure- customers will whine about it like we've never heard before.
2. The tiny bezels will not be greeted with enthusiasm. There's a reason why the older iPads had a big bezel. So you could hold the freaking thing.
This isn't looking good.
Ok. I'm done.

If that was the idea, then it certainly doesn't show on iOS 12's changes on multitasking just to make it more iPhone X-y.
No, the changes were in anticipation of the fact that there is no home button on these new iPads.
No chance, dude.
I am also wishing this would be so; that is, a Mini 5 follow-on.
But no cigar. The claim is that the new phablets replace the 7.9-in Mini Series.
But those that claim that, forget the difference in aspect-ratio.
The Mini-series is 4:3; consistent with paper-size format.
The X-series phablets are 19.5:9, consistent video format.

Regardless of the series being discontinued (albeit, silently -- the Apple way), my Mini 4 remains perfect for trips abroad, due to hand-held size and weight.
And henceforth the experience is totally broken on the iPads with a home button, just because X.
Agreed. At this point, the ipad mini 4 is over 3 yrs old, and It’s the only ipad that doesn’t have pencil support. It should cost a lot less than the 2018 ipad.
I just want it NOW! And I hope the announcement comes today of the event on the 16th and pre-orders on the 19th. Delivery on the 26th.
JUST DO IT!
JUST DO IT!
I still really want an iPad Mini with Pencil support. Mini is the perfect size to carry around to meetings instead of my notepad, and is the best size for reading eBooks when travelling.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but why would Face ID on the iPad be a failure? It seems to be working out just fine on the phone, why would the iPad be different? How often are you holding the iPad by the bezel? There will still be some bezel on these in order to incorporate the Face ID sensors. I think that will be more than enough.
That’s the case for any rechargeable battery. If you leave the battery dead to long it will never charge again.
I hope not! Because it’s still a mobile device (not using a full OS/still using mobile components) I don’t think it will be that much but I do expect a price hike of $100-150 over the current price.
