On the latest episode of his *Power On* podcast, *Bloomberg*'s Mark Gurman said he heard that Apple has tested both 60Hz and 120Hz ProMotion displays for the next iPad mini. However, he has not yet learned which option Apple has chosen.
The next iPad mini is expected to be announced on October 27 or October 28. Rumored features include an OLED display, an A20 Pro chip, a landscape front camera, a redesigned speaker system, and a water-resistant design. Earlier leaks, spotted by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris in Apple's own code, showed clear product images of the new iPad mini and confirmed the front-facing camera rearrangement.
Bloomberg has also reported that Apple will introduce new OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models and an OLED iPad mini on or around Tuesday, October 27. The launch is expected to include an M6 14-inch MacBook Pro and an M6 iMac. It would follow Apple's October 13 debut of a new smart home hub, a revamped Apple TV 4K, and a refreshed HomePod mini.
The refresh is shaping up as a significant update for the compact tablet line, with the display refresh rate remaining the open question. Gurman's sources have not revealed whether Apple will settle on 60Hz or 120Hz ProMotion for the device.
