Oops, Apple's Website Just Hinted at iPad Mini 8

Apple has an unreleased iPad mini Smart Folio listed on its French regulatory website, hinting that a new ‌iPad mini‌ is coming. The case's A3632 model number doesn't match current or past ‌iPad mini‌ cases.

Apple appears to have added the case to its website recently, and it's listed alongside iPhone 18 Pro accessories added in September.

The listing doesn't include any ‌iPad mini‌ specs, but it does suggest design changes to the device it's meant for as a new Smart Folio may mean current cases won't fit the next ‌iPad mini‌.

Rumors suggest the ‌iPad mini‌ 8 with an OLED display and a more water-resistant design will be introduced on October 27 or 28 alongside an ‌OLED‌ MacBook Pro. The A3632 Smart Folio could be for the ‌OLED‌ ‌iPad mini‌.

Please don't publish another iPad Mini leak or rumour unless it's news about the refresh rate. I'm going out of my mind here!

I mean everyone knows that there is a new Mini coming soon.
The fact that they release it in the end of October again shows Apple's tactics.
They could have released it earlier, but this would have interfered with Duo sales as some people would rather choose the Mini which can do the same things and possibly more (iPad OS).
But they rather release it in the end of October and if they announce it on October 28th preorders will start the same day or October 30th with devices shipping on November 6th. This is the last day when the Duo’s preorders can be returned.
So they exactly timed it that people who decide the Duo was a mistake cannot return it if they wait until the last day.

Typical Apple move.
