Rumors are swirling about the next iPad mini. The iPad mini 8 might come with an A20 Pro chip and an 8.5-inch OLED screen, according to leaked code. This expected 2026 device could launch for around 499 dollars.
Previous speculation pointed to an A19 Pro chip for the smaller tablet. Analysis of an early software build now suggests Apple will bump it to their newer A20 Pro processor instead. The display might also get slightly larger than the current model's 8.3-inch panel.
Apple could use flexible OLED tech to minimize bezels and maximize screen area without making the overall device much bigger. To hit that target price, they might choose a more basic single-layer OLED panel over a premium tandem design. The final product is still a long way out, but the specs are looking like a solid upgrade.
