The iPad mini 7 was received pretty well by the tech community after its launch, but there are still areas that Apple needs to work on. The size and form factor of the device is ideal and a favorite for many, but the display is where things could have been better. The iPad mini lineup has featured an LCD display for years, and it appears that the seventh iteration could be the last one. The latest suggests that Apple is testing an OLED display for the iPad mini, which will be made by Samsung Display.Apple's 2026 version of the iPad mini could get an OLED upgrade, slated to be supplied by SamsungA Weibo-based leaker who goes by the name of Digital Chat Station on the platform claims that Apple's next iPad mini could feature a Samsung-made OLED display, which will be a major step up from the current display type. The leaker also claims that even though the display will be supplied by the South Korean tech giant, it remains to be seen if Apple will use a 60Hz or a higher refresh rate panel.The existing iteration of the LCD panel on the iPad mini 7 features a 60Hz refresh rate, but if we are lucky, the company could announce the next version with an OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion technology, which will also fix an essential issue with the device. This is not the first time that we have heard details on the iPad mini's display upgrade, and some reports have also coined that Apple has requested OLED panels for the iPad mini from its suppliers.It was also reported last year that Samsung has already started developing a sample 8-inch OLED display for the future iPad mini. It plans to initiate mass production at its Cheonan facility in the second half of this year. The same report also claimed that the company will upgrade the iPad Air lineup with an OLED display as well. However, these notions are slightly different from the reports shared by Ross Young from DSCC, claiming that the company is working on a slightly bigger 8.5-inch OLED display for the iPad mini, which will be released in 2026. while the iPad Air lineup will be upgraded the following year.There are various benefits associated with an OLED display compared to an LCD panel, which could make the next iPad mini upgrade a significant one compared to previous years. For one, the picture quality on the OLED display is far better than that of the LCD. It features inkier blacks, improved contrast ratio, and better saturation, allowing the panel to deliver punchier and crispier content.Apart from this, the OLED display is also more power efficient than the LCD panels, allowing the device to consume less power and deliver better overall battery life. The iPad mini has also faced jelly scrolling issues in the past, and while Apple has fixed it to some extent, it is not entirely gone. The OLED display on the iPad mini could finally eliminate jelly scrolling from the iPad mini lineup.Deal of the Day
