OLED iPad Mini Rumored to Cost Around $799
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple's next iPad mini with an OLED screen will cost considerably more than the current $599 model, possibly near $799. The device is expected to include an A20 Pro chip, a landscape FaceTime camera, a redesigned speaker setup, and water resistance. Apple may introduce it alongside OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models around Tuesday, October 27.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple's next iPad mini may carry a much higher price than today's $599 version. In his Power On newsletter, he cited sources pointing to an increase and estimated a figure near $799, which would be roughly $200 more.
The rumored tablet is said to add an OLED screen, an A20 Pro processor, a front camera oriented for landscape use, revised speakers, and water resistance. Gurman has also suggested Apple could reveal it with OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models around Tuesday, October 27.
A higher-priced iPad mini may push budget-conscious buyers toward older models or rival small tablets, while Apple could strengthen its premium positioning. Creators, students, and frequent travelers who value portability might weigh the OLED benefits against the extra cost. If released with new MacBook Pros, the launch could shape holiday upgrade decisions and press competitors to emphasize value or display quality.
