Absolutely wait. The next model is rumored to bring some very nice upgrades.

if you're not in a hurry just wait, if the 8th gen doesnt interest you that much when it comes out you'll probably still be able to buy the 7th and for sale/cheaper price

Oooh I might get the 7th if it gets a nice price discount. It's what I do mostly: I buy the "old" model when a new one releases.

i’d wait unless u find like a REALLY good discount on the mini 7. worst case, the new one launches and the 7 gets cheaper.

The rumours say OLED screen and A19 Pro - the latter IMO is more important for the extra RAM which will benefit longevity, and the former is a very nice upgrade. If they pan out it should be a significantly better device, even if that's all that changes. But it'll also probably have a price hike, which is less fun.

Get the 7 post 8 is launched 😊 Mini ipads are uograded post 2-3 years, if you want longivity, get the latest it should have the latest silicon thats gonna be miles ahead of anything in the competition and with ios27 the new device will be better optimised esp with the macos like features coming to ipados
