In a tweet series providing detailed information about Series 9 and the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra, ShrimpApplePro states there is evidence indicating Apple will unveil at least one tablet by year-end, possibly the 7th iteration.

Earlier this year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported upgrades for the mini series within the current year. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes the 7th-gen iPad mini could commence mass production in the first quarter of 2024.
Similar to the 11th-gen iPad, the processor stands out as the most notable upgrade for the next-gen iPad mini. The latest model in this product line currently utilizes the A15 Bionic chip. By year-end, the 15 and are expected to be available with the A16 Bionic and A17 Bionic, making the iPad Mini 7 highly likely to receive one of these processors.
Furthermore, we can anticipate that Apple's upcoming compact iPad will support newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Hopefully, in the coming time, we will gather more information about this tablet surfacing on various online platforms.
