OLED iPad Mini: Release Date, Pricing, and What to Expect
Apple plans to enhance iPad mini, iPad Air, and MacBook Air with OLED screens and new water resistance, starting with the iPad mini 8 next year, Mark Gurman reports.
- On October 28, 2025, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported Apple is testing updated iPad mini, iPad Air and MacBook Air models with OLED displays.
- Because OLED provides deeper contrast and richer colours, Apple is upgrading from LCD panels as OLED displays offer better colors, darker blacks and improved contrast, already used in iPhones and iPad Pro.
- Expected next year, the iPad mini 8 will feature a water-resistant casing and a vibration-based speaker system that removes traditional speaker holes.
- An upgraded iPad mini could cost up to $100 more, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said, with the current iPad mini starting at $499 and the base iPad at $329.
- Apple's broader OLED timetable remains uncertain, with the MacBook Air expected around 2028, MacBook Pro OLEDs possibly arriving with redesigns, and the foldable iPad pushed back to 2029.
