The upcoming iPad mini will reportedly switch to an 8.4-inch hybrid OLED display but will maintain a fixed 60Hz refresh rate, lacking ProMotion. While the OLED upgrade may provide better contrast, users looking for smoother visuals will be disappointed by the absence of a higher refresh rate.
The next iPad mini will use an 8.4-inch hybrid OLED panel instead of the current LCD technology. This change aims to enhance the display's contrast and color accuracy.
Despite the OLED feature, the iPad mini will not include ProMotion, Apple’s technology that allows refresh rates to dynamically adjust up to 120Hz. Users will face limitations with a fixed 60Hz refresh rate, which could affect the experience for those expecting smoother animations and scrolling.
According to leaker yeux1122, mass production of the upcoming iPad mini is already in progress at Samsung Display's A2 Generation 5.5 line. This indicates that the device may be on track for release in the second half of the year.
While the shift to OLED may improve color performance, the limitations on refresh rate may lead to disappointment among users who hoped for a more advanced display similar to the iPad Pro models. Discussions on consumer expectations regarding these features are likely to arise as the launch approaches.
