Renewal and future Ipad mini These topics have been generating a lot of discussion in the tech sector lately. With the recent release of the new iPad Pro and iPad Air, and the fact that the tenth generation iPad has been on the market since 2022, the smaller model, last updated in 2021, has become the oldest in Apple’s catalogue. And while the seventh-generation model is expected to hit the market soon, there are rumors that Cupertino-based manufacturers are also working on it. version with OLED screen.
Information taken from the report ZDNet Korea (by using 9to5Mac) and indicates that the iPad mini project with an OLED screen was supposed to launch last month. Samsung Display has already started producing sample panels for the upcoming 8.3-inch tablet.
Of course, if you want an iPad mini with an OLED panel, you’ll probably have to wait a couple of years. The above-mentioned media say that mass production of screens for the new device will begin no earlier than the second half of 2025. This will allow Californians to debut the device. sometime in 2026.
It’s worth noting that in addition to the iPad mini, the report mentions that Apple plans to introduce OLED screens on the iPad Air later that year. However, it is not specified whether this improvement will apply to the two Air models (11 and 13 inches) that Apple currently offers, or whether it will affect only one of the variants.
iPad mini with OLED screen will appear in 2026
The iPad mini is expected to receive the long-awaited seventh generation update no earlier than the end of 2024. This was pointed out by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, recently. A well-known journalist noted that the tablet will not receive too important changes, except for a logical update to a new processor.
What’s not very clear yet is whether the iPad mini will come with an OLED screen. this would be the real eighth generation, or it will be an update with a better screen from the model introduced this year. As we always say, there is always a lot of speculation surrounding Apple’s future announcements and all information should be taken with a grain of salt.
In fact, the rumored development of an iPad mini with an OLED screen contradicts rumors that surfaced earlier this year indicating that Apple might ditch the 8.3-inch model to replace it with a foldable iPad. A change that is expected to come into force in 2027 or 2028.
Release a device with a long-awaited screen update, and then kill it next year, This doesn’t seem very feasible. Moreover, it is typical for Apple to cling to certain equipment in its lineup when logic dictates that it should already be discontinued. The ninth-generation iPad with a Home button, released in 2021 and remaining in the catalog until earlier this month, is a clear example of this. The same can be said for the 13-inch MacBook Pro with TouchpadI’ll give you another example.
