iPad mini OLED

Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.

We will keep this on your list as the date moves.

Reveal

The day it is shown to the world

Good guess · Right month, maybe not the day

14 October 2026

in 9 days

Almost certainly between 6 and 29 October 2026 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.

Where we started When Apple usually launches No pattern for this model yet, so we started from the time of year Apple normally picks.

Reports behind it 2 separate stories Found across 2 articles. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.

Since last time 1 day later Last changed on 5 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

Tom's Guide usually calls things later than they happen, so we pulled this 15 days earlier before believing it.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 6 Oct 2026 to 29 Oct 2026 (23 days wide), with a standard deviation of 10 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

What the hardware is

1 of 20 headline specs known so far. Values from a spec database describe a phone that exists; values from articles are what sources claim about one that does not yet. Each row says which it is, and where sources contradict each other we print both figures rather than choosing.

display

Panel type: OLED Rumoured

Still unknown: screen size, refresh rate, resolution, chipset, ram, storage, main camera, front camera, rear cameras, battery, wired charging, height, width, thickness, weight, ingress protection, operating system, 5g, nfc.

Where you will be able to buy it

Probably worldwide Based on how this product line usually launches

Going on what this line normally does, not on anything said about this phone yet.

iPad normally launches worldwide.

No report so far has named a specific country for this one. That is normal early on: the market is usually only spelled out close to launch.
