MacWorld's iPad Mini 5 to arrive in a new aluminium body

MacWorld's iPad Mini is slated to undergo a massive overhaul. As per recent reports, Tech giant Apple is planning to launch the iPad Mini in the same aluminium avatar that made the body of the iPhone 6s. The material, known as Series 7000 aluminium, is much lighter and tougher compared to other types of aluminium that other Apple products are using.

Earlier it was speculated that iPad Mini 5 will debut along with Apple's other products- the 2016 versions of the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac on October 27. However, new reports say that launch of the aluminium iPad will be delayed. It will join the league of other tablets that be unveiled in 2017. These include iPad Pro 2 and the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro.



So, what's all there for the Apple fans who have been waiting with bated breath for the new iPad to come?
