Bloomberg reports that Apple is targeting a launch by October for the OLED iPad mini and shares the company’s expected timeline for updates to the entry-level iPad, the iPad Air, and the iPad Pro. Here are the details.
’Biggest overhaul to the iPad mini in half a decade’
While the next iPad mini has long been rumored to launch later this year with an OLED display, Bloomberg has now provided a more precise window for its release.
According to the new report, “Apple is preparing to unveil the new OLED iPad mini [code-named J510] as early as this fall, with a release planned by October.” The report also notes that Apple is “working on an eventual OLED upgrade for the iPad Air,” but is “not currently working on a base iPad with OLED, instead sticking to cheaper LCD technology for the foreseeable future.”
Earlier this week, Weibo leaker yeux1122 also said the iPad mini would get an OLED display, but claimed it would lack ProMotion and remain limited to a fixed 60Hz refresh rate.
