Apple asks iPad mini users about the ideal screen size

In the coming months, we can expect the introduction of the iPhone 13, the 3rd generation AirPods, the 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro and the iPad mini. It is the iPad mini that should offer several extremely interesting changes, the biggest of which will be a new design inspired by the 4th generation iPad Air. In any case, question marks still hang above the display, or rather its diagonal. Currently, even Apple itself contacted users of mini tablets, asking them whether the iPad mini's diagonal fit them.

But it is definitely not something completely unusual. The Cupertino giant contacts apple growers relatively often in this way. But it does not always speak about the company's plans. Even so, this news offers an interesting insight into the functioning of Apple, because now we at least know what can be solved, or what is being worked on. The last questionnaire specifically tries to understand the needs of the users themselves, taking into account demographic groups. The very first question deals with the display and we have already mentioned its wording above. However, options such as "too small," "a bit small," "a little big“A "too big. "

Will Apple decide to replace Lightning with a USB-C connector?

But let's go back for a moment to the speculations and leaks related to the expected iPad mini 6th generation. It should be presented to the world in the fall, which makes it clear that the results of the questionnaire have absolutely zero influence on the shape of the expected product. But this does not mean that the collected data will be useless. The Cupertino giant can then turn them into visual marketing and use them to build an entire (or at least part) of a campaign around the new iPad, thus perfectly targeting users of the older model. Apple is still asking about usage in portrait or landscape orientation, or whether customers use the device for taking notes, viewing photos and videos, or listening to music in one way or the other.

According to the leaks so far, the design of the iPad mini should be inspired by the iPad Air, due to which the iconic Home button will be removed. Thanks to this, the device can offer a display over the entire surface, while Touch ID is moved to the power button. At the same time, Apple could switch to USB-C instead of Lightning and implement a Smart Connector for easier connection of accessories. In any case, the display is uncertain. While some sources mention the arrival of mini-LED, a display expert refuted this speculation.
