Apple is anticipated to unveil a new OLED iPad mini later this month. A fresh, unverified rumor resurfaces, asserting that the forthcoming iPad mini will adopt an OLED panel while retaining a 60Hz refresh rate and forgoing ProMotion.
Speculation suggests the OLED iPad mini could miss ProMotion
This marks the second appearance of the claim, both originating from the same Naver user, yeux1122. That account’s history with Apple leaks is inconsistent, often repeating unverified information from anonymous sources rather than offering original insight.
Nonetheless, the latest update from yeux1122 states that while certain overseas reports mention a 120Hz option, domestic production indications have already confirmed a 60Hz screen.
Once again, I view this rumor with considerable skepticism, given the lack of corroboration from trustworthy sources.
Should the rumor prove accurate, it would be a letdown for prospective iPad mini purchasers. The anticipated upgrade is poised to deliver several other noteworthy enhancements, such as:
– An OLED screen.
– The upcoming A20 Pro chip, succeeding the existing A17 Pro found in the current iPad mini.
– A redesign featuring narrower bezels that may improve water resistance.
– Relocation of the FaceTime camera to the horizontal bezel, mirroring the layout used on other iPad models.
If Apple implements all those updates yet omits a ProMotion‑enabled 120Hz display, the debut of the new iPad mini could be significantly marred.
The new iPad mini is slated for release later this month, meaning we won’t have to wait long to confirm the details.
