Next iPad mini to feature OLED display, but release may be years away

The next iPad mini update will reportedly include OLED technology, but given Apple's history of releasing updates to the iPad mini line, the new model might not arrive for several years. Rumors from display industry analyst Ross Young suggest that an OLED iPad mini is in development.

Previous rumors have consistently pointed to a 2026 release date for an OLED iPad mini, with Samsung Display as the main supplier. The gap between updates for the iPad mini has ranged from 2.5 to 3.5 years, which supports the idea of a new model arriving in late 2026.
