I don't think different colours usually get a different MN, sometimes there's a different version for cellular CDMA or the Chinese market, which would explain the 6 variants (3 of each).
Got a tip for us?

Great that the iPad Mini could be getting a refresh... but (cough) ...Mac Pro?
Since the large format iPhones came out, I rarely pick up my iPad. I picked up my old iPad Mini even less.
That's just me though, to each is own.

I have a XS max and still want the mini 5
I rather watch movies on a iPad and browse the web on an iPhone
My wife's iPad Mini 2 is about on its last legs. This would be a day one purchase for me.
I'm sure it will use Lightning, but PLEEEEASE make it USB-C, and then I'll upgrade my two older models!
I definitely feel the same way. I have a 2016 iPad Pro which is still doing great, but when it slows down too much, I'll likely replace it with something on the lower end. A nice iPad Mini at a non-Pro price might be the thing for me.
I'm looking at you, new iPad Mini. Better priced reader and toy, handy size.
I’m hoping for lightning. Right now I can charge my iPhone, iPad, and AirPods with the same cable, and I’d like it to stay that way.
Software does need work, but the mini 4 hardware leaves a lot to be desired as well.
Me for instance. I'd like a Pro in that Formfaktor even more but I know that will never happen.
Yeah if these things have USB-C... Then Apple's probably moving over wholesale. Though I *guess* I could imagine a world where iPads and Macs have USB-C but iPhones keep lightning... I hope not though.
I don't understand the point of wanting a mini. I just find the 10.5 version of iPad Pro is just what you need, thin and light, yet powerful display technology with 120Hz screen included.
I'm the exact opposite. Once I get home I don't even touch my iPhone until the next day and use my 2018 iPad exclusively. The 4:3 ratio of the iPad make a much more pleasant reading experience than the 19.5:9 ratio on the new iPhones. Even The XS Max is only 2.7" inches wide while the iPad Mini is 4.7" wide and the iPad is 5.8" wide. That is a very noticeable difference.
It’s a better reader for books. Landscape is the iPad portraits. It works well in size.
Just keep the cheap one the same price and I am in. I want an iPad but the current line up to get what you want I can't justify.
Give me something with 128 GB under $400 and I will take it. Will be interesting to see the new pricing. This will be the first time since the iPhone we will see how Apple sets prices.
If they don't gouge in general and on storage options in particular it would indicate to me they want to push these out and sell services.
If they raise it even one penny I am out.

Apple is a phone company. Stopped being a computer company 10 plus years ago. No new software aka iWorks, Aperture, Final Cut, iPhoto etc since... I can't remember it's that long. No new computers, screens since.. when did Halley's comet last fly past? Old computers, higher and higher prices, bendy iPads. Nothing new, innovative for years. I will keep my iPhone 8 plus for another 5 years. My 2014 iMac for another 3 years at least. Hopefully by then Tim is long gone.
OLED sounds nice in theory but as I use my iPad Pro for productivity so more static screen, that sounds like a recipe for screen burn in. I think OLED should go to a premium consumer model who may appreciate the screen more for watching movies.
Perfect timing. Just this morning I had ordered a kids' case for my 2014 iPad Air 2 to give to the kids. That way each of my kids will have their own 64 GB iPad Air 2. They had been using one iPad Air 2 and an old iPad 2 from 2011, but they have not surprisingly been complaining about the iPad 2 with its now paltry 512 MB RAM being too slow and unreliable for loading apps.
I'll buy a new 2019 iPad for myself, and repurpose the iPad 2 as a photo frame. Hopefully the 2019 iPad has bare minimum 3 GB RAM though, and preferably 4 GB RAM. I won't buy if it still has 2 GB like the iPad Air 2. For the CPU, A11 would be fine but A12 would be even better.
I wonder if it will include USB-C and Face ID.
