Apple is preparing a major update to the iPad mini, expected as soon as October. The iPad mini 8 will feature an OLED display, replacing the current LCD panel for deeper blacks and richer colors. It may also include a new A19 Pro or A20 Pro chip, improved water resistance, and a vibration-based speaker system.

Rumors suggest no ProMotion support, limiting refresh rates to 60Hz. Pricing remains uncertain, though the current model was recently raised to $599.
