We could be just mere hours away from the next generation ofiPadmini, if the latest rumours turn out to be accurate.
Apple’s Scary Fast eventis slated for today, October 30, and while we expect to see a new slew of M3-powered Mac devices announced, the iPad division may have a pint-sized surprise for us as well.
So far, so nothing - but MacRumors notes that it’s witnessed battery refilings before, with Apple following the same process ahead of theApple Watch 9launch as it resubmitted theWatch 8battery documents to the same regulatory body.

It’s the faintest of signs that a new iPad mini may arrive later today then, but this isn’t the first we’ve heard of a potential tablet announcement.
