A supply chain leaker claims the upcoming iPad Mini 8 will feature a 60Hz OLED display rather than the 120Hz ProMotion panel found in iPad Pro models. This contradicts earlier speculation that the device would match the refresh rate of the iPhone 17. The device is expected to launch around October 27, 2026, alongside other hardware updates.
Apple has inadvertently leaked marketing assets for its upcoming fourth-quarter hardware lineup, including the iPad mini 8, HomePod mini 2, and fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. The iPad mini 8 features an A20 Pro chip, a landscape-oriented camera, and an OLED display. The HomePod mini 2 retains its spherical design but introduces new subdued colors. The Apple TV 4K retains its current design but includes internal upgrades. These devices are expected to launch in October 2026.
Apple is expected to announce three major hardware updates in October 2026: the iPad mini 8, HomePod mini 2, and Apple TV 4K (4th generation). Leaks from Apple’s code reveal the iPad mini will feature an A20 Pro chip, a landscape-oriented camera, and an OLED display. The HomePod mini 2 retains its spherical design but introduces subdued color options like green and pink. The Apple TV 4K, the first update in four years, will likely include an A19 or A19 Pro chip, 8GB of RAM, and Wi-Fi 7 support via Apple’s N1 chip.
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.
The upcoming iPad mini 8 is expected to launch in late 2026 with a new 8.5-inch OLED display and the A20 Pro chip, potentially offering a larger screen and advanced features while maintaining a $499 price point.
A new iPad Mini 8 is expected to launch with the A19 Pro chip, possibly featuring an OLED display and an increased size from 8.3 to 8.7 inches, with rumors suggesting a release in 2026 or 2027 alongside new iPad Air models. Pricing is likely to remain around $499, with some speculation about a lower-end version. The device's release date remains uncertain, but a launch in the first half of next year is possible.
