Leak: iPad mini 8 may drop speaker grilles and gain water resistance

Images found in Apple's code show the iPad mini 8 with a single slim slot instead of speaker grilles, matching Mark Gurman's report of a vibration-based speaker system that would also bring the mini its first water resistance. The tablet is expected with an A20 Pro chip on TSMC's 2nm process, 12GB of RAM, an 8.4-inch OLED display and a landscape front camera, with an October 28 event and a price near $799.
