At this point, we've been waiting for an iPad Mini update since, what, 2016?  I stopped holding my breath last fall and bought one of the "standard" 9.7" iPads.  To be honest, I don't really like the larger size, but it would be tough to justify purchasing an iPad Mini 5 if one materialized now that I have it.  Also, my assumption is that if it ever does show up, it'll be an A10-based product (iPhone 7/2018 iPad), not A12-based, as that would make its performance too close to the iPad Pro's.  Whether you want an iPad that's three years old when it goes on sale or not is sort of up to you.  

I'm a Garmin Forerunner 235 user at the moment, but having this in the Apple Watch would get me to buy one. I'm a "well-controlled" Type II diabetic (yay, Metformin!), and anything that reduces the number of times I have to poke my fingers with something sharp each day is a HUGE selling point. As my endocrinologist points out, we don't know what happens during the time between readings, and my blood glucose could be all over the place or super steady. A non-invasive way to watch the BG response to different foods, different medications, etc. would be...pretty substantial to me.
