Apple reportedly plans an OLED iPad mini this month and a new base iPad next year
Apple is reportedly planning to announce a new iPad mini later this month, alongside new Macs.
The mini would be the first iPad mini with an OLED screen.
The current mini, released in 2024, mainly brought a faster chip and more memory than its predecessor.
A new standard iPad is expected next year instead.
It is reported to have an A19 chip and 8GB of memory, which would allow it to run Apple Intelligence features.
The current standard iPad does not meet those features’ requirements.
The reported schedule means the mini would be Apple’s last iPad update this year; other iPad models are expected to be updated next year.
These plans have not been confirmed by Apple.
