this video is sponsored by squarespace yeah it's true the ipad mini was announced nine years ago in NUMBER_TOKEN when its major competitor was the nexus NUMBER_TOKEN and their design has stuck around with us for just as long despite being a pretty popular tablet at its creation apple has never revisited changing the design of the ipad mini until now because the ipad mini NUMBER_TOKEN which should be coming out this fall is supposed to have a radical redesign and this beloved tablet is finally getting the attention it deserves and it could be the ultimate ipad for a few reasons so let's talk about it first of all let's talk about the design because honestly this is something that i have wanted of a new ipad mini ever since i saw the original NUMBER_TOKEN ipad pro with its major reduction in bezel size and increase in screen size i always thought that apple should apply this same design philosophy to the ipad mini however when apple released the ipad mini NUMBER_TOKEN in NUMBER_TOKEN i honestly thought they would never give us the complete ipad mini redesign that we deserved and i even said in my review of the ipad mini NUMBER_TOKEN that this may be the last ipad mini model that apple ever sells and thankfully it looks like past greg was totally and completely wrong so yes the ipad mini NUMBER_TOKEN is supposed to be getting that same design treatment as the ipad pro more specifically we should expect it to look more like the recent ipad air NUMBER_TOKEN and it will have squared off sides and a reduced bezel around the entirety of the display with the removal of the big forehead and bottom chin area this should give the ipad mini a bigger display than the NUMBER_TOKEN inch display it currently has with most rumors and sources estimating the display size will be around NUMBER_TOKEN inches while still having around the same size and weight as the ipad mini NUMBER_TOKEN. now despite one report from digitime saying that the ipad mini would have a mini led display i think that claim is absolutely ridiculous and i can't see apple putting the mini led display on the ipad mini when they didn't do it to the more expensive NUMBER_TOKEN inch ipad pro it wouldn't make any sense marketing wise and it wouldn't be a feature i would expect on this ipad mini given its expected price range and its place in the lineup at least for this year so the ipad mini NUMBER_TOKEN display will probably have the same lcd display technology that is found on the ipad air with NUMBER_TOKEN nits of max brightness now because of the display extending closer to the borders that again means the removal of the chin area where apple would have kept the home button so with that gone that means that we should also expect that apple will be moving the touch id sensor into the power button if you're questioning why apple would use touch id in the power button instead of just putting face id on the ipad mini well it's because apple has already implemented that touch id sensor onto the ipad air and again i would expect this ipad mini NUMBER_TOKEN feature set to basically closely mimic all of the ipad air features so touch id on the power button no face id it's why i also believe we will see possibly the same selection of colors with this ipad mini that the ipad air offers so hopefully a wide range of colors to choose from and speaking of copying things from the
