What's next for the iPad mini 5?

2gb for the mini 4 is enough imo. I have the 4

I agree. I have one too. I never said that it was lacking in RAM. I was just speculating about what a future version might have.

Is it gonna be iPad mini pro? They need to shrink down the iPad pro 9.7

It'll be the iPad mini 4 with a bit more power and pencil support, call it a pro and jack up the price!

The iPad mini line seems to exist for the purpose of being the budget iPad range. I don't see them getting the same treatment as the iPad Pros (unless Apple decides to create a more expensive iPad Pro mini product line?).

Hey I have the iPad mini 4 too. Do you find that it feels slightly sluggish? It feels like that to me especially the Touch ID which is so much faster on the 6s. But also the processor feels slower.

Specifically for the mini, all I wish for is Pencil support.

Guest user functionality would be nice to have in iOS X.

Honestly?

They'll probably add the iPad Pro 9.7 cameras to the new Mini. It makes sense.

It's a smaller much more feasible iPad to take around for photography purposes.

The 6s has the second generation Touch ID sensor which is why it is much faster. I can't say I have ever found the mini 4 sluggish.

Completely agreed - that would make me place an order immediately.

I have the 4 LTE and love it! Really hope they don't ditch the mini line

The iPhone 6S has a newer A9 CPU in it that is faster, and as said above it also has faster Touch ID too. So your iPad may very well feel slower next to it.

If no Pencil support, there is no chance of a new Mini this year. iPads are refreshing every two years now and that's what people want.

In fact the only thing aside from Macs that is refreshing every year is the big iPhone series.

Didn’t Steve Jobs once say Apple would sell a stylus for a tablet over “his dead body”? Then what happened? He died, and Apple started selling stylii. Coincidence?!?

Yeah...it could be... I could be wrong.
