No beeping across my 6 AirTags in various use cases

As usual , with charging devices and cabling, Anker offers a superior product and much better value than Apple.

But I’m curious about the rather poor 50% efficiency of Qi charging vs 80% MagSafe. Wonder what the math works out to be with Anker vs Apple? Author alluded that Apple‘s rendition is better but I want to see some numbers or real world use.

Wonder if the smart connector means a Smart Keyboard for the first time in the mini’s history? 

I doubt it - the mini’s size precludes a full sized keyboard. To match the width of the mini the keyboard would have to be significantly reduced, affecting its usability. 

>>then why a smart connector? I haven’t seen it be used in any other application than smart keyboards, weather Apple made or 3rd party.

So chances are there will be a 13 mini right? Just not 14. I am considering dropping down to that size from 12P.  

Yes, strongly predicted to see a new iPhone mini this fall, and if initial sales are weak, it will be the last mini.
