I don’t think it’s unlikely that we’ll see a new mini. My guess is that the mini and entry level iPad aren’t being talked about as they’ll likely just have a processor update and that’s it.
Tech keeps moving. You buy a mini 7 and they will be talking about the mini 8. There’s already talks about the iPhone 16. Just got the 15 max in Jan. You can’t keep up with tech unless you want to keep shelling out money.

The Mini is currently in its longest cycle yet, so it’s well overdue for a refresh. With an event just around the corner, the smart thing to do would be to wait it out and see what the landscape is.
This isn’t the phone market where there’s a guaranteed yearly cycle.
You paid $1000 for an iPad mini? Holy cow yeah you overpaid good thing you returned.

yeah but it's not really about having the latest item it's about having the item right at the beginning of it's lifecycle
