Apple's stunning new iPad mini 6 might be happening after all

It's the most on again/off again Apple product of 2021, with countless rumours insisting that the long overdue iPad mini redesign is either definitely coming, or definitely never, ever coming. Well, if new leaked molds are anything to go by, it looks like the iPad mini 6 is on again.

We've already heard that the new mini will adopt an iPad Pro-inspired all-screen design, doing away with the current home button and large bezels. And the leaked mold suggests that's exactly what we're getting. Could it be the first iPad mini to hit our best drawing tablets roundup?
