"The iPad Mini is my favorite Apple tablet for its size. It is small enough to pack alongside my laptop and powerful enough to rekindle my love for photo editing. But for the last two generations, I've wished for Apple to provide a better screen, as the smudgy LCD panel isn't ideal for reading or color accuracy. That could finally happen next year."
"That could finally happen next year. Also: How the new iPad Mini renewed my love for photo editing According to a recent Bloomberg report from Mark Gurman, the iPad Mini could get an OLED panel as soon as next year. It also goes on to say that Apple plans to gradually roll out OLED displays to the iPad Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air over the years."
"I'm excited for an OLED iPad Mini because my tablet use cases include browsing, editing photos, reading, and watching videos -- in that order of priority. I've written before how the iPad Mini is the perfect combination of form and function for me. The iPhone is suitable for browsing, but not for editing, while the larger iPads are ideal for editing, but not for reading. That's why the iPad Mini has earned a permanent place in my travel backpack."
The next iPad Mini could receive an OLED panel and improved water resistance, potentially launching as soon as next year. An OLED-equipped MacBook Air is unlikely before 2028 as OLED rollout progresses across iPad Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air. The 2024 iPad Pro was the first Apple tablet with an OLED display, and the upgrade may reach the iPad Mini ahead of the iPad Air. A move to OLED would improve reading and color accuracy over the current smudgy LCD. The smallest tablet may also face a roughly $100 price increase. The Mini’s compact size suits browsing, photo editing, reading, and video.
