Apple is probably preparing to introduce a new generation of iPad in the coming weeks mini, which is set to bring one of the biggest changes in the history of this compact tablet. After years of waiting, it is set tooneWe can't wait to see the transition from classic LCD to OLED display, thanks to which users can look forward to significantly better black rendering, higher contrast and overall better image quality. However, as it now turns out, Apple apparently decided to save on one relatively important feature of the display. According to the latest information, iPad mini 8 will only offer a 60Hz refresh rate, which is disappointing to say the least in 2026. And since we've heard these rumors for the first time now, a 60Hz display refresh rate is starting to seem more and more likely.

OLED yes, ProMotion not
The Korean company has now confirmed the display's relatively low refresh rate. leaker going by the nickname yeux1122, according to which the production of OLED panels using LTPS technology with a refresh rate of 60 Hz has already been confirmed. However, it should be added that the reliability of this leakerand is not 100%, so some caution is still needed. However, if the information is confirmed, it will be a surprise for many fans Applu is undoubtedly disappointing. The current iPad mini The 7 also only offers a 60Hz display, and although the switch to OLED will bring a significant improvement in image quality, the smoothness of animations or scrolling content will remain the same. The whole situation seems all the more strange when Apple already offers 120Hz ProMotion also with the basic iPhone 17. On the other hand, it is true that, for example, cheaper iPhone The 17e can still make do with a 60Hz OLED panel. Apple so apparently not in the case of the new iPad mini does not consider a higher refresh rate necessary.
Fortunately, this won't be the only news you'll find. Apple pro iPad mini 8 is being prepared. According to previous leaks, the tablet is expected to get a powerful A20 chip Pro, up to 12 GB of RAM, thinner bezels around the display, and a redesigned speaker system. There is also speculation about increased water resistance and moving the front camera to the longer side of the device, which should make video calls easier when using the tablet in landscape mode.

As for the performance date, the new iPad mini should arrive in October. Apple according to behind-the-scenes information, he hasonec months planned next wave of product news, which could include this tablet. However, nothing has been officially confirmed yet. Personally, I am curious about how Apple they will defend the possible retention of the 60Hz display. OLED is undoubtedly a welcome improvement, but for a device that is definitely not among the cheapest tablets on the market, I would expect something more these days.
