Apple to unveil iPad mini 8 with OLED display next week

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 23:20 · Archive

Apple is expected to unveil an iPad mini 8 with an OLED display on 28 October in Los Angeles.

Apple is expected to unveil an iPad mini 8 with an OLED display at a press and creator briefing in Los Angeles on 28 October. The device will feature the A20 Pro chip, manufactured using TSMC's advanced 2-nanometre process, reportedly offering up to 1.5 times faster CPU performance and 2.5 times faster GPU performance compared to the A17 chip in the current model.

The current iPad mini in the United States starts at $599 after a $100 price increase in June. With a costlier OLED display, the next model may be even more expensive.

Alongside the iPad mini, Apple is expected to announce MacBook Pro models with OLED displays and touchscreens. Engadget reports these will come in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes and may be thinner and lighter than current models, with the OLED display allowing for thinner bezels and a hole-punch camera cutout with a Dynamic Island. An iMac with an M6 chip is also expected. However, Engadget's sources claim the MacBook Pro will use current M5 Pro and M5 Max chips rather than switching to the M6 family.
