iPad mini 6 Dummy Unit Shows That It Will Be Keeping Its Archaic Design

While rumours of the iPad mini 6 have been floating around, they’ve not been consistent about the tablet’s design. Some point to it having the same design it has always had, while others claim that it too will get the iPad Pro makeover. More evidence for the former have since appeared, in the form of dummy units.

Blogger and leaker Sonny Dickson shared on Twitter what looks to be dummy units of the upcoming iPad Pros and mini. And for better or worse, all three tablets look like there will be no change in their design. Not that bad a deal for the pricier tablets, but definitely a downer for the smaller sibling.

If the dummy units are representative of the actual products, then the iPad mini 6 sticks out like a sore thumb among other iPads. The vast majority of them have already adopted the design of the Pro, including the iPad Air 4. Only the base iPad and the mini are still stuck with the forehead and chin.

The dummies also casts more doubt on the possibility of the iPad mini 6 coming with two punch hole cutouts. The same applies for the possibility of a Pro model for the mini line.

Alleged Apple iPhone 13 Pro Dummy Unit Appears; Houses Redesigned Notch, Selfie Camera

Apple’s iPhone 13 series is still far beyond the horizon and, understandably, the fruit company isn’t providing any details about what sort of specs it will be sporting. That said, a dummy unit of an alleged iPhone 13 Pro recently made its way online, giving us a glimpse what could be heading our way.

The leaked image comes by way of the Japan-based tech site, Mac Otakara, which claims that their image is that of a 3D printed mockup of the iPhone 13 Pro. More to the point, the dummy unit shows us that the phone could ship out with a smaller notch than what is seen on current iPhone models, housed in a 6.1-inch display. Also, the phone’s selfie camera seems to have been shifted to the left of the notch, instead of staying on the right side.

In terms of measurements, the Japanese tech site says that the iPhone 13 Pro’s notch would be 5.35mm in height and 26.80mm in width.

Apple’s alleged move to introduce a smaller notch with future iPhone models isn’t all that surprising, nor is it anything new. The company from Cupertino has long toyed with the idea of revamping it since the launch of its first notched display on the iPhone X. Apart from that, the iPhone 13 series are also expected to be fitted with ProMotion 120Hz displays, improve colours, and a much faster A15 SoC, among other things.
