New leaks reveal early details of next-gen Apple iPad Mini

After releasing the newest iPad Air last month in 11-inch and 13-inch guises, Apple is working on its next-gen smaller tablet, the iPad Mini, and a leak yet again claims the tablet is set to launch with an OLED display. 

As shared by leaker Jukanlosreve, rumors of Apple ditching the iPad Mini in favor of a foldable are wide of the mark. This comes after reports of Apple developing a foldable iPhone with a 7.74-inch inner display screen. While that display size indicates some overlap with the 8.3-inch iPad Mini, it appears the foldable iPhone will be a separate model and not a replacement for the small tablet.

Reiterating previous reports, the next-gen iPad Mini is set to feature an OLED screen, following in the footsteps of the iPad Pro. The OLED iPad Pro (buy on Amazon) may not be selling as well as Apple expected, but the company will soldier on with its adoption of OLED screens on its tablets regardless.

The next-gen iPad Mini is touted to arrive in the second half of 2026. According to Digital Chat Station, the tablet will sport OLEDs made by Samsung Display. It's unknown if it'll finally make the jump to a higher refresh rate, however, but we'll be sure to keep you updated on that.
