Apple to Launch OLED iPad Mini and Refresh Entry-Level iPad and iPad Air ModelsPreviousNext

Apple plans a major update to its iPad mini, introducing an OLED display for the first time in a model codenamed J510, expected to launch by October. Alongside this, refreshed entry-level iPad and iPad Air models are anticipated next year, featuring faster processors and retaining current sizes. The shift to OLED and premium hardware may increase prices, following recent hikes due to component shortages. Apple aims to capitalize on rising tablet sales with these upgrades.
