Amid speculations, Apple Inc. remained silent on the rumored iPad Mini 5's release date and specifications. With the silence of Apple, it is not difficult to believe that the tech company will launch the device this year.

As the Cupertino based company will seemingly discontinue the Air series and focus more on the Pro lineup, it has been speculated that the next iPad Mini will be dubbed as the iPad Pro Mini .

Tech analysts and longtime consumers of Apple devices have known for a fact that the tech giant is gearing up for their September event from which the company is expected to finally boast their latest products to the public, based on the report of Vine Report.

It has been speculated that the iPad Mini 5, or some name it the iPad Pro Mini, will be unveiled along with the much awaited iPhone 7.

However, some speculations about the features of the upcoming iPad Mini 5 surfaced on the internet. The device is not expected to have a major change in the exterior design, but it is believed that iPad Mini 5 has a smaller screen size compared to the iPad Mini 4. The chipset of iPad Mini 5 or iPad Pro Mini may improve from the A8 to A9, according to Mobipicker.

It is also possible that iPad Mini 5 will be packed with iOS 10. iPad Mini 5 is expected to have an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera. The iPad Mini 5 is believed to sport the 3D touch feature like the iPhone 6S, in which the feature allows consumers to draw gestures on the screen using their fingers.

If the iPad Mini 5 will be dubbed as the iPad Pro Mini, this strategy of Apple can be a good alternative. So, if the rebranding turn out to be true, it is possible that the launch of iPad Mini 5 will probably happen in September, HNGN reported.
