Considering how off the rumors were for WWDC 2021, I wouldn’t put much stake in them. Anyone with a guess is putting out rumors as though they had top secret information. MacRumors needs to be renamed MacGuesses.
It took several years between the mini 4 and the mini 5, and many people thought the mini line was dead after the 4 went so long without an update. I will be surprised if Apple brings out a mini 6 this year, but you never know.
I was really excited about my iPad Air 2020, especially after the new iPad Pros were released in 2021, but then Apple took a dump on any hopes I had of their finally updating iPadOS to be a powerful computing platform. Apple made it clear with WWDC 2021 that they plan to keep the iPadOS lackluster to make the iPads little more than fast, expensive, entertainment toys. Apple doesn’t seem to want to create anything beyond a video/media player. That is a-shame as an iPad with a great iPadOS would be a very powerful computing platform for tasks like video editing, photo editing, spreadsheets creation, etc. The newest iPads have plenty of horsepower, but iPadOS is a total joke.
