Here are the prices and features I'd put in the new 2019 iPad and iPad Mini products.
Why
- Keep the existing budget iPad in the lineup for a low cost device
- Put a bit newer technology in the other entry level iPads to make them desirable
- Raise the prices a bit if needed for a bit newer technology
- Include laminated display and thinner chassis because it's important
- Price iPad and iPad Mini only slightly different, not a much cheaper Mini
- Keep the old design with Touch ID to keep costs down some still though
