New iPad Mini Rumored to Have 60Hz OLED Display Ahead of Launch
Ahead of the expected imminent launch of the new iPad mini 8, word out of Asia suggests that the device will feature a 60Hz OLED display rather than a ProMotion 120Hz display.

Apple's upcoming iPad mini 8 is rumored to feature a 60Hz OLED display, contrary to some overseas reports that suggested a 120Hz ProMotion display. According to a tipster on the Korean Naver blog, the domestic production quantity has confirmed the use of LTPS at 60Hz. Apple's iPad Pro models use LTPO OLED panels, which allow dynamic refresh rate adjustment between 10Hz and 120Hz.
In contrast, LTPS OLED panels typically have fixed refresh rates like 60Hz, 90Hz, or 120Hz and are generally less bright. If the leak is accurate, this could disappoint iPad mini fans, especially since previous reports were unclear about the potential higher refresh rate. The new iPad mini 8 is expected to launch in October, possibly at an event in the final week of the month.
It will come with a faster A20 Pro chip, FaceTime camera in landscape orientation, a redesigned speaker system, and a water-resistant design.
