Looking ahead: Apple users have long wondered when the Cupertino company would expand OLED technology beyond the iPhone and iPad Pro. The latest information suggests that Apple's entry-level tablet could receive the display upgrade this fall, with other models expected to follow in the coming months.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple is aiming to release a revised iPad mini with an OLED display by October. Meanwhile, a new version of the standard iPad is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2027, followed by an OLED-equipped iPad Air and a new iPad Pro in the spring.
It remains unclear how much Apple's plans have changed since earlier reports about an OLED iPad mini. In 2025, Gurman claimed that the device would debut in the spring of 2026 with a water-resistant chassis and a slightly higher price tag. Despite the apparent delay, plans for the iPad Air and iPad Pro do not seem to have changed. The standard iPad is expected to retain its LCD display while receiving a processor upgrade.
