Apple’s iPad mini has not seen an update since 2021, but indications suggest that a new model may be on the horizon.
Stock levels of the iPad mini are reportedly low in many Apple stores, which hints at a possible upcoming release. Industry insiders describe the current inventory situation as “constrained.”
