‘iPad mini 8 will have an OLED display’ (and it has these advantages)

The iPad mini 7 (2024) has only just been released, but there are already rumors about its successor. That said usually reliable Ross young in a post on X (former Twitter).

Secretly it’s not that strange that he says it. Apple is slowly but surely upgrading all devices with OLED displays. The iPad mini (8) should of course not be left behind and should therefore have OLED.

There have been rumors for some time that the iPad mini would switch to OLED in previous versions, but unfortunately that did not happen. Now it seems that the time has finally come with the iPad mini 8.

These are the advantages of an OLED screen

If the iPad mini 8 does indeed have an OLED screen, it will have a number of advantages. For example, the brightness of the screen is better with more contrast. Furthermore, black on the screen is really black. In addition, the screen is more efficient, which of course has advantages for battery life.

iPad mini 8 release

But of course the iPad mini 7 (2024) has only just been released. So it will take some time before the iPad mini 8 appears with an OLED display. The last few times the iPad mini was updated was in 2019, 2021 and 2024. So there’s a good chance you’ll have to wait another two to three years.

The iPad mini 8 is not the only device that is rumored to be switching to OLED. The next iPhone SE and the iPad Air will probably also have an OLED display in the new version.

So it will take some time before the next iPad mini arrives. Are you looking for the smallest iPad of the moment? Then you need the iPad mini 7 (2024). It is available from €609. For all prices and providers, it is best to take a look at our iPad mini 7 price overview.
