When Apple released its affordable iPad last year (referred to as the iPad 6), it was assumed that the iPad mini line would be discontinued because of the value proposition that was accompanied with the cheaper tablet. However, in recent times, evidence claiming otherwise has been mounting up. For instance, some new iPad models recently showed up in the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) database, one of which is allegedly the iPad mini 5. According to a new report, the new iPad mini 5 is happening and it will be assembled by the Taiwanese manufacturer Compal Electronics.

According to rumors, the Cupertino giant will release the iPad mini 5 later in 2019, sometime in spring. Previously, various analysts and publications, including Ming-Chi Kuo and China Times had alleged that the Cupertino giant will release a new iPad mini variant. Apart from that, the company is also expected to release a seventh-generation iPad with a 10-inch display.
