Although iPads are specific products for a type of audience, and that not everyone uses or wants, it is true that the iPad Mini It has a touch that makes many of us consider its acquisition, and even more so with the characteristics of the next one that Apple would launch.
It is true that, to see this, we still have a long way to go, and unlike other products, it will not be released this year. However, everything we will see today may make us open our mouths and think about saving to buy some when they are launched.
iPad Mini 8: rumors and release date
Apple is preparing a new iPad mini with important changes, but without losing its compact essence. The model could release a brighter OLED screen and with better colors, replacing the current LCD panel. Furthermore, its size would go from 8.3 to about 8.7 inchesoffering a little more space without losing comfort in the hand, gaining, above all, on the edges, something similar to the iPhone 17.
Inside, you are expected to mount the chip A19 Pro or a slightly lighter version of this processor, which would mean a notable improvement in performance and energy efficiency. With this, the device would be prepared to move demanding apps, games and productivity tasks without problems, as well as improve its great autonomy, one of its strong points.
One of the most debated topics among users is the refresh rate, since some sources believe that it will continue at 60 Hz, while others expect Apple to opt for a more fluid experience. However, if you opt for a basic type OLED panel, it is likely that you will maintain the 60 Hz of the iPad Mini 7, so as not to increase costs. We all expect it to be 120 Hz, when even the “low” range of iPhones has gone up, but it is not clear with the new OLED screen.
As for the launch, the predictions do not entirely coincide. Some analysts point to 2026while others place the jump to OLED in 2027. The most likely thing is that it will coincide with the next generation of the iPad Air, but being Apple, anything can happen, what is clear is that at least it will take a few more months to know everything.
Regarding the price, no major changes are expected with respect to the current model, although Apple could study more affordable options in the face of competition from cheap tablets, so we could see more than one model, with changes to the screen and base storage, among other points.
In short, the iPad mini 8 promises a more modern screen, a powerful chip and a slightly larger designwhich means that many people can consider their purchase, especially if they increase the screen size a little more, without subjecting the device to larger dimensions. Let's hope it doesn't take long to arrive and we can reveal a possible more precise release date. For now we have to wait for any new rumors that we manage to detect.
