iPad Mini 8 May Use 60Hz OLED Instead of ProMotion
Apple has not announced the iPad mini 8 yet.
A leak says its screen may be an OLED screen that refreshes 60 times each second.
Some people had expected a faster 120Hz screen, which can change how often the picture updates.
The leak is not confirmed, so the final screen could be different.
The tablet may also get a faster A20 Pro chip and a camera moved for landscape use.
It is expected to arrive in October.
A report says Apple may hold a separate event for it in the final week of the month.
A leak says the upcoming iPad mini 8 may use a 60Hz LTPS OLED display.
The display would differ from earlier expectations of a 120Hz ProMotion panel.
The report attributes the latest information to Korean Naver blog user Yeux1122 and says it is unconfirmed.
Other anticipated upgrades include an A20 Pro chip and a landscape-oriented FaceTime camera.
The tablet is expected in October, with a Bloomberg report suggesting a separate launch event in the final week.
