But Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants has strictly denied the reports and specifically mentioned: “DigiTimes story was not correct.”

Well moving on, in a reply to a user over his tweet, he also said that the supposed miniLED supplier for the iPad mini has confirmed to him that such a model with miniLED does not exist. In the same thread, Young also affirmed that the miniLEDs should be for Apple’s high-end products which the iPad mini is not.

Past reports have speculated the specifications of the said iPad model. It is expected the upcoming model is going to be called as iPad mini 6. A recent report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman stated that iPad Mini 6 will feature the “biggest redesign in the nine-year history.” It is also expected the iPad mini 6 will support a new Apple Pencil as well. Furthermore, the Lightning connector is also said to be swapped out in favor of USB-C. It is rumored to be coming with Apple A14 processor as well.
