The rumor about iPhone 7 release date in September is rife on the internet. In fact, industry experts and fans believe that there will be another Apple flagship product that will be rolled out this year along with iPhone 7. At this time, it is safe to assume that another Apple staple will be iPad Mini 5 that is expected to release alongside the flagship handset, just like the company did last year.

However, what can the fans expect from this new iPad Mini 5? In line with recent announcements made by Apple, the company states that all their products they plan to release in 2016 will now come equipped with lighting audio port technology.

If that is indeed true, then the fans can expect to see a different kind of hardware for iPad Mini 5. That being said, the biggest notable design change with this feature is that the new iPad Mini 5 will have reduced thickness and will be built using aluminum chassis of 7000 series, giving it a much finer finish.

The new iPad Mini 5 will also feature unique Apple 3D touch, Apple Pencil and also improved iSight rear camera with 8 MP and 1.2MP in front. Even though no release date has been announced for iPad Mini 5, it is safe to predict that it will be launched along with other Apple products slated for this year.
