Apple may have just leaked its own surprise upgrade for the iPad mini, and if the rumors are right, this tiny tablet could pack the same punch as the iPhone 17 Pro.
Apple is already working on the next iPad mini model, reportedly carrying the codename J510/J511. Apparently, the device may be powered by the A19 Pro chip, which is rumored to be the processor in the iPhone 17 Pro models. And that could be one badass processor, alright.
The iPhone 17 series is going to come out in September, and the processors from the A19 series are intended for it. The A19 Pro chip will reportedly have more GPU cores than the standard A19. Rumors also suggest there could be an in-between A19 Pro chip with one fewer GPU core, which is said to be used in the iPhone 17 Air.
The current iPad mini model debuted back in 2024 and is equipped with the A17 Pro chip, the processor that the iPhone 15 Pro models run. Now, MacRumors has discovered hints in code that Apple mistakenly shared, saying that the next iPad mini model will be powered by the A19 Pro.
