Why the 2026 iPad Mini May Be Apple's Most Expensive Yet
Apple's next iPad mini could carry a steeper price tag when it arrives in 2026, with the company reportedly planning to charge up to $100 more than the current $499 starting price.
The increase would reflect a host of noteworthy upgrades, led by the adoption of OLED display technology, according to Bloomberg.
The iPad mini 8 is expected to be the first of its kind to feature an OLED panel, which provides individually controlled pixels for more precise colors and deeper blacks, but also costs more to manufacture.
- Current iPad mini models use more traditional LCD screens.
- The device is also set to introduce a novel speaker system that eliminates traditional speaker holes.
Apple has reportedly developed vibration-based technology that lets sound emit from flat surfaces on the chassis rather than through grills.
