Apple plans to launch a new iPad mini model with an OLED display by October this year, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman.
Apple already updated the iPad Pro with an OLED display in May 2024, but the iPad mini, iPad Air, and entry-level iPad still feature LCD displays. The move to OLED technology would allow the next iPad mini to offer improved picture quality, thanks to richer colors and a higher contrast ratio with true blacks.
Since OLED displays are generally more expensive than LCD displays, the next iPad mini could have a higher starting price than the current model.
Gurman provided no further details about the upcoming iPad mini today, but he previously reported that the device would receive a vibration-based speaker system and increased water resistance. The next iPad mini is also rumored to be powered by an A19 Pro or A20 chip, compared to the current model’s A17 Pro chip.
The current model launched in October 2024, with the A17 Pro chip enabling Apple Intelligence.
