Apple refreshes iPad Mini with OLED screen and slimmer design
Apple has updated its iPad Mini with an OLED display, thinner design and faster processor, but the price has risen significantly.
Apple has released a substantially upgraded iPad Mini with an OLED screen, thinner and lighter chassis, faster A20 Pro processor, and improved durability including an IP67 water and dust resistance rating. The 8.5-inch OLED display represents a major leap from the previous LCD screen, though the device is limited to 60Hz refresh rates rather than the 120Hz ProMotion found in the iPad Pro. The device is now 5.33mm to 5.4mm thick and weighs 254 to 255 grams, making it significantly lighter and more portable. However, reviewers note that the improvements come with a substantial price increase, with the base model starting at $699 and high-end configurations reaching $1,249. The Verge's David Pierce criticised Apple's explanation for omitting ProMotion, arguing that the lack of 120Hz refresh rates is noticeable during everyday scrolling and use of the Apple Pencil.
