Some of Apple’s product lines get updated like clockwork.

But other models can go for years between upgrades.

The Mac mini is one of these; another is the iPad mini.

It will,according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, sport a faster processor.

But what else could an update bring?

“A new processor?

The mini is already ridiculously fast for what it does.

“Alsolove the mini.

Favorite Apple unit ever.”

The 2021 iPad mini was a massive update to Apples most-neglected tablet.

That mini also got better speakers and a better camera.

Whats more, the new screen added a significant hardware glitch: Jelly scrolling.

Not everybody notices it, andApple says its a non-issue.

So, the first thing Apple should address in the iPad mini is the screen.

And Apples most portable iPad could also do with the extra brightness because its otherwise very usable outside.

The biggest reason to upgrade from the current mini would be OLED.

But here we are, getting into iPad Pro territory.

Which makes us ask, why not an iPad mini Pro?

Better speakers, more RAM, andhere’s the killer featureStage Manager support.

That’s a pretty amazing machine right there.

Like many other iPad mini users, I totally love mine.

But it could really do with a better screen.

Get on that, Apple!
