Apple's small and popular tablet, the iPad mini, is expected to receive a major upgrade soon. According to media reports, the company may launch the new iPad mini with four major upgrades by the end of October this year. It's believed that the biggest change this time around could be its display, as the new model is expected to feature an OLED screen instead of an LCD.
If this happens, it could represent a significant leap forward in screen quality over the current iPad mini model. Additionally, upgrades like a new speaker system, improved water resistance, and a more powerful processor could also be seen.
It could be powered by the A19 Pro or A20 chip.
The new iPad mini could also see significant improvements in performance. The current model features the A17 Pro chip, which makes the device better equipped for features like Apple Intelligence. Apple may now use the A19 Pro or A20 chip in the new model. If this happens, improvements in processing power and machine learning are expected. This could also benefit multitasking, gaming, and upcoming AI features.
This will be the biggest upgrade
The most notable feature of the new iPad mini is its OLED display. Currently, the iPad mini uses an LCD panel. Apple has already introduced OLED technology in the iPad Pro. In an OLED screen, each pixel can be individually controlled.
This benefits in the form of deeper, truer blacks, improved contrast, and more natural colors. With this display, users can enjoy a better visual experience while watching videos, editing photos, and gaming.
However, OLED panels typically cost more than LCD panels, so it's believed the new iPad mini could have a higher starting price than the current model.
A new speaker system may also be available.
In addition to the new display, Apple may also make changes to the tablet's audio system. Previous reports have claimed that the upcoming iPad mini could feature a new type of speaker system.
This upgrade is expected to impact the experience of watching movies and web series, listening to music, and making video calls. However, detailed hardware changes related to the speaker have not yet been revealed.
Better protection from water
There's also talk of improved water resistance for the new iPad mini. If Apple incorporates this feature, the device could be more resistant to water or moisture damage during daily use. It's currently unclear what level of water resistance the company will offer. Therefore, the true strength of this feature will only be revealed at launch.
When will it be launched
According to a media report, Apple is preparing to introduce a new iPad mini by the end of October this year. However, the company has not yet shared any official information regarding this. It should be noted that the current iPad mini was launched in October 2024.
