Rumor | iPad Mini series likely to co-exist alongside a foldable version as a premium alternative in 2025

The iPad Mini is projected to be back in late 2023 or early 2024 with a new generation powered by an up-to-date processor for a change. However, according to TF International Securities' well-known analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, its series has a future even beyond that.

Apple is thought to finally get into the foldables market by 2025, although the Cupertino behemoth's first forays into the technology are rumored to turn out as tablets rather than smartphones, as the latter would be too expensive to develop until later.

Accordingly, "some media" have speculated that Apple's first-gen foldable will supplant the iPad Mini, perhaps based on size. However, as Kuo now maintains, this is unlikely to be the case, due (again) to the cost of the putative foldable alternative.

Therefore, it is just possible that there may be a foldable and non-foldable iPad Mini available in or around 2025, as a 'basic' prospect and its 'premium' alternative respectively.
