Everything we know about the rumored iPad Mini 8

Apple might have a fun new iPad for us to check out in the very near future.

On Oct. 28, Apple is hosting the "Pro and Tell" event in Los Angeles. We expect multiple product launches at the event, perhaps including a new high-end MacBook Pro OLED, but one other rumored item that we're hoping to see is the iPad Mini 8. It's been two years since the iPad Mini 7 came out, meaning it might be time for a refresh.

But what should we expect from the rumored iPad Mini 8? Let's investigate.

A recent report from Bloomberg gave us some potential bad news on the price front for the iPad Mini 8.

According to Bloomberg's intrepid Apple reporter Mark Gurman, the device could cost close to $799, which would be a $200 price increase over the original starting price of the iPad Mini 7. Apple did increase the price of the Mini 7 over time for the same reasons every other electronic product has seen recent price increases, meaning the new price would be a $100 price hike over the current cost of an iPad Mini 7. Bummer.

That said, that's still $1,200 cheaper than the iPhone Duo, so keep that in mind.

A new higher price is not great news to start out with, but there might be a good explanation for it (aside from RAMageddon) in the spec sheet.

While we don't have official specs for the iPad Mini 8, a report earlier this year from MacRumors spilled the beans on what we can expect from the new device on a technical level.
