At the launch event of the iPhone 13 series, Apple also introduced the iPad mini 6 in September this year. Like the iPhone 13 series, the iPad mini 6 is equipped with an A15 Bionic processor. However, it seems that the company will still present an upgrade to this device.
According to insider reports, Samsung has started supplying Apple with 8,3-inch displays for the new iPad mini. This display is similar to the display of the iPad mini 6, but the screen refresh rate is increased from 60 to 120 Hz (ProMotion). According to unconfirmed reports, Apple will call this device iPad mini 6 Pro.
This name seems logical, since Apple already has Pro models for its tablets, smartphones and Mac computers. In addition, most of these Pro models have a ProMotion dynamic refresh rate of 120 Hz. In addition, the increased refresh rate can solve the problem of "jelly scrolling" (sliding does not follow the hand), which has already been reported by some iPad mini 6 users.
iPad mini Pro will retain the flagship A15 Bionic processor, as well as 4 GB of RAM. However, the initial internal memory of this device will be 128 GB. In terms of price, the 6GB version of the iPad mini 64 with Wi-Fi costs about $630. This means that the iPad mini 6 Pro will probably cost more than $650.

Apple hasn't made many updates to its devices in the past few years. However, it looks like the company is making some major changes now. The use of a 120Hz ProMotion display in most of its flagships deserves top marks.
The company is also increasing the battery capacity of its device, which is also good for Apple customers. Hopefully, Apple will soon consider fast charging for its iPhones and tablets.
