Abstract:
A product environment characteristics document on Apple's French official website has recently attracted attention: the page lists an "iPad mini Smart Folio" with model number A3632. This number does not appear on Apple's existing iPad model identification page, and the related accessory numbers are also different from the currently known iPad mini protective cases. Therefore, it is regarded as an indirect clue that Apple is preparing a new generation of iPad mini.
However, A3632 corresponds to the Smart Folio accessory, not the model of the new iPad body. The document does not list the chip, screen size or other hardware specifications of the tablet, nor does it clearly state which generation of iPad mini the accessory is compatible with; the new protective case may mean an adjustment in the body design, but specific changes cannot be confirmed at this time. Apple has not officially released a new machine or announced its launch plan.
The iPad mini currently on sale will be updated in 2024 and is equipped with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and an A17 Pro chip. Rumors about next-generation products include switching to OLED screens, improving waterproof capabilities, and replacing new-generation A-series chips, but none of this information has been confirmed by Apple. Market reports had previously predicted that the new product might be unveiled in late October, but the specific date and price are still unclear.
