Apple has recently released a new iPad Mini 5 and a new iPad Air 10.5”. The question is will these works in our current range of [iPort](https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport)<https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport>products? 

The short answer is yes. 

The details below: 

## **The New iPad Mini 5** 

The new iPad Mini 5 is physically the same size as the Mini 4, however, Apple has moved the location of the microphone on the Mini 5.  

This means the new Mini 5 will mechanically fit into all existing [iPort](https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport)<https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport>products that suit the Mini 4. 

However, microphones will be blocked for: 

- AM2 Launchport Sleeves 
- Luxeport Cases to suit iPad Mini 4 
- Surface Mount to suit Mini 4 

So this is only an issue if you are using the microphone. 

## **The New 10.5” iPad Air** 

The new iPad 10.5” Air is physically the same size as the iPad Pro 10.5”. Microphones, controls and cameras have not been moved. This means any [iPort](https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport)<https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport>product designed to work with the iPad Pro 10.5” will work with the new iPad 10.5” Air. 

- Luxeport Cases to suit Pro 10.5” 
- Surface Mount to suit Pro 10.5” 

[iPort](https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport)<https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport>is currently working on new tooling for [iPort ](https://www.ambertech.com.au/brands/iport)products that suit iPad Mini to allow for the new microphone location on Mini 5. These will be released later this year.
