Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple plans an iPad mini with an OLED display by the end of October, a move up from LCD that would bring richer colors and higher contrast. The new mini is also expected to feature a new speaker system and increased water resistance, and could be powered by an A19 Pro or A20 chip, potentially with a higher starting price due to OLED costs. The current model launched in October 2024 with the A17 Pro.
Rumors say Apple’s iPad mini 8 will switch to an OLED display (potentially 8.7 inches), use a mid-tier A19 Pro chip, and adopt a more water-resistant, sealed chassis with a vibration-based speaker system; mass production is reportedly underway and a release could come this year, with price potentially rising above the current $599 starting point (some talk of up to $100 more), though a cheaper 10th-generation iPad at $449 may still be an option.
9to5Mac reports Apple is developing a next-generation MacBook Neo (Neo 2) with an A19 Pro chip (likely a binned variant) that could push CPU speeds by ~10–15% and GPU gains up to ~40%, paired with 12GB of RAM (up from 8GB). It’s expected to unlock on-device AI features and periodic color refreshes, with a planned 2027 release. The current Neo uses the A18 Pro and 8GB RAM, so the upgrade focuses on performance, AI capabilities, and customization, per Bloomberg’s Tim Culpan.
Apple is reportedly developing a RAM-boosted MacBook Neo with an A19 Pro processor (likely 12GB RAM instead of 8GB), moving away from the current A18 Pro. Ongoing component shortages could push the price higher and Apple may drop the 256GB base option. The Verge also notes broader OLED-focused updates like OLED iMacs and refreshed laptops (including an M6/M7 era) expected later this year or early next year.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple is updating the MacBook Neo with an A19 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, and new color options; it’s one of 11 new Mac models in the works, with a release likely in the first half of next year. The Neo remains the most affordable MacBook, even after a price hike to $699, with education or refurbished options still available.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple plans an OLED iPad mini launch by October, replacing the current LCD model. The upgrade could include an OLED panel for richer color and contrast, a vibration-based speaker system, and increased water resistance, with a processor likely the A19 Pro or A20—up from the A17 Pro.
Rumors suggest Apple’s next iPad mini will switch from LCD to OLED (potentially around 8.7 inches), be powered by a mid-tier A19 Pro chip, and gain water-resistance features and a vibration-based speaker design, with a launch possibly in late 2026 and a notably higher starting price than today’s $499, though exact specs and costs remain unconfirmed.
Rumors suggest Apple’s next iPad mini will switch from LCD to OLED, possibly expanding to about 8.7 inches and using the mid‑tier A19 Pro chip. The design may gain water resistance and a vibration-based speaker system to seal the chassis. A launch is expected in 2026 (with some reports pointing to 2027), and pricing could rise by up to $100 from today’s $499 starting point, making the 10th‑gen iPad a cheaper alternative for some buyers.
Apple’s new Studio Display lineup uses two different chips: the standard Studio Display contains an A19 chip, while the Studio Display XDR uses an A19 Pro chip. The original 2022 model used an A13 Bionic. The chips likely power improved speakers and the Desk View camera feature, with the XDR model offering higher-end specs (120Hz refresh, mini-LED backlight, brighter display). Apple hasn’t officially disclosed the chips in marketing materials, but firmware teardown confirms them. Both models are available for preorder and will launch March 11, with teardowns and reviews forthcoming to reveal deeper hardware details.
Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook, the MacBook Neo (Model A3404), via a regulatory document. Details are scarce, but rumors point to a cheaper MacBook with an iPhone-class chip (potentially A18 Pro or A19 Pro) instead of an M-series processor, a 12.9-inch display, and color options, with speculative pricing around $599–$799. Media demos were expected at Apple Experience events in multiple cities, and Apple later removed the link.
The A19 Pro chipset from Apple features significantly upgraded efficiency cores that deliver up to a 29% performance boost without increasing power consumption, thanks to major architectural changes, making it a standout in chip performance and efficiency.
Apple accidentally revealed details of upcoming devices through code, including an M5 chip for the Vision Pro 2 headset, an A19 Pro chip for the new iPad Mini, a potential upgrade to the Apple TV with the A17 Pro chip, and an updated HomePod Mini with a new chip architecture, indicating significant hardware upgrades across its product line.
Apple is expected to introduce the 'A19 Pro' chip with the upcoming Studio Display 2, indicating a focus on enhanced performance and features for their display products.
Apple's iPhone 17 models will feature higher refresh rates than previous models, potentially up to 120 Hz, and will be powered by the new A19 Pro chip with significantly improved performance scores. All models are also expected to have 12 GB of RAM, making the upcoming iPhone a notable upgrade, pending supply chain resolutions.
