Why the 2026 iPad Mini May Be Apple's Most Expensive Yet
Apple's next iPad mini, arriving in 2026, may have a higher price tag, with a possible increase of up to $100 from the current $499 starting price.
The price increase is due to several upgrades, including the adoption of OLED display technology, as reported by Bloomberg.
- The iPad mini 8 is expected to be the first to feature an OLED panel, providing individually controlled pixels for more precise colors and deeper blacks.
- The device will also introduce a new speaker system that eliminates traditional speaker holes, using vibration-based technology to emit sound from flat surfaces.
The increase would reflect a host of noteworthy upgrades.
