Rumor: iPad Air and mini to Inherit Key Feature from iPad Pro
According to The Elec, Apple is preparing a major upgrade for the iPad Air and mini. Both devices are expected to feature OLED displays in the near future. The source also revealed the expected release date for these updated models.
If the insider report is to be believed, Samsung-made OLED displays are set to appear in the iPad Air and mini lines sometime in 2026. It's anticipated that these won't be the same Tandem OLED panels found in the iPad Pro; instead, the new models will likely utilize more affordable display technology.
This recent insider report echoes a rumor from October 2023, which claimed that Apple would release an iPad Pro with an OLED screen in 2024 (a prediction that has since come true) and transition the more affordable models to this new display type in 2026. As always, Apple has not commented on the rumors surrounding its future products.
