Apple is about to release a new iPad mini. This will mark the first update to the device in two years, and it’s expected to be a big one. Here’s everything we know so far about the new iPad mini coming soon.
OLED display
By far the biggest change to the new iPad mini will be to the display. According to multiple sources, the iPad mini 8 will feature an OLED display.
This will be a dramatic improvement to the iPad mini’s current LCD panel. For users, the move to OLED means deeper blacks, richer colors, and better contrast. The iPhone X was the first iPhone to use an OLED display in 2017, while the OLED iPad Pro debuted in 2024.
One lingering question, though, is whether the new iPad mini will use a ProMotion display for refresh rates of up to 120Hz. According to a sketchy rumor last week, the new iPad mini won’t offer ProMotion support and will instead be limited to 60Hz.
