I’ll definitely be getting the new Air. My iPad mini is great for single app mode, but split view multitasking is a little too small.
Got a tip for us?

New iMac, 10.8-Inch iPad Air, and Larger iPad Mini Rumored to Launch in Second Half of 2020

Same physical size, just a larger screen, that is how you get a "larger" iPad mini. The iPad Pro did this, followed by the 15" macbook pro (up to 16") there are rumors that the 13" macbook pro will turn into a 14" at some undetermined point in the future. These devices did not grow in exterior dimensions (for the most part, there are always exceptions to the rule) but their screen sizes grew as bezels shrunk.
But it’s already more expensive than the 10.2 iPad.
Yes I love the iPad Mini and really like the aspect ratio. Maybe they'll just reduce the bezels and keep a similar aspect ratio with a slightly bigger display. They may add FaceID and use a design similar to the iPad Pro
They copied the 10.8” iPad prediction from Kuo but still got the name wrong.
The whole idea with the Mini is its size.
I'm not too sure I want a bigger one.

Apple should call everything the SE from now on

An updated iPad mini with iPad pro esque design would be welcome.
True that, I bet many would prefer the same screen size in the smaller form with smaller bezels which is called iPhone Max!
It has been reported that the iPad Mini form factor is very popular within industry because it is small enough to carry around, but offers more usable space than a phone. Keeping the overall dimensions the same by shrinking the bezels and increasing the screen size would probably be welcomed by that class of users.
I’d assume it’s a larger screen in a similar footprint (dropping the home bottom and adding in Face ID), which could prove very popular.
I got the new iPad Pro with the keyboard. I hate that the camera is on the side, and not the top when you have it on the keyboard now. It didn't bother me until i had the keyboard and have it in that position most of the time. Photos and FaceTime look weird. They should potentially think about moving the camera in my opinion if they continue to push out support for the keyboards and more computer type functionality.
Not really, since you can get a cheaper iPad with a larger screen. I suspect Apple can deliver a mini in a design more like the current iPad Pros for only a modest price increase over the current mini.

“Meet the all new 13” iPad Mini Plus Max. Can’t innovate anymore, my ass!”
*Crowd erupts for 10-minute standing ovation*
I really hope this new iMac is coming soon. My mother has wanted to replace her 2009 iMac for months and I keep telling her to wait as there is a new one coming soon. That and I refuse to let her spend that kind of money on a computer with a spinner hard drive in 2020, so hopefully the rumors of all flash storage are true.
It’s also a pain in the ass to hold onto a frame-less touch screen device without activating something you don’t want to activate.
People clutching their pearls about “oh no! Bezels!” need to calm down. It’s not like you put an iPad mini in your pocket.
Digitimes have a 61% track record so not awful. They were first to predict a magic keyboard with trackpad
I have a 6-year old iMac that needs an update and I'm working on a long-term project that requires a lot of After Effects. I don't care about a redesign - I still think the iMac looks great. Just give me an iMac with update-to-date CPU/Graphics, a fast SSD that is not over priced and user upgradable memory. I'm not asking for a lot! I'll order the day it is announced.
So many rumors! I wondering if current iMacs will get just an update / spec bump... I swear I remember reading that these were ready to go a few months back. However—a fully redesigned iMac A14x could simultaneously be announced & maybe "this" is the cheaper product we keep hearing about in the smaller 24 inch size only?
If this were to be the case I would be torn between old and new products.
