Apple is holding a launch event on September 7. The company will most probably launch iOS 10 during the event. Reports claim that the Cupertino tech giant could release iPad Mini 5 and iPhone 7 along with its latest operating system for mobile devices.
Although Apple has not yet confirmed anything about the upcoming devices, there are a lot of rumors about the iPad Mini 5 specs. The device will run on Apple A9 processor. The company is rumored to upgrade RAM in iPhone 7. Customers can expect a 3GB RAM in the new iPad as well. Moreover, the new device will have an improved internal storage. Instead of a 16GB internal storage option, Apple could also introduce a 256GB option as rumored for the iPhone 7.
Apple is could remove the 3.5mm headphone jack in the upcoming iPad Mini 5. A lightning port will be there for wired headphones connectivity. Apple has a patent for a touch sensitive home button. The company could finally introduce this technology in iPhone 7 and iPad Mini 5. That means the new iPad Mini 5 is likely to have a touch sensitive home button instead of a physical one.

There are rumors that the new iPad Mini 5 will be thinner than the current iPad 4. Apple could use a less powerful battery component in the next-gen iPad Mini to reduce the size of the device. However, this will not affect the battery life. The new processor will be more power efficient than the current A8 processor used in iPad Mini 4. The new iPad Mini will most probably feature pressure sensitive 3D touch screen as it is already there in current iPhones.
Nothing is confirmed about the price of iPad Mini 5. Price of the device will depend on the actual hardware configuration of the device. However,rumors suggest that 32GB model will cost approximately $450. The mid-range device with 64GB storage will cost around $500. For 128GB onboard storage customers will have to pay approx. $600.
