Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is reporting that Apple's upcoming iPad mini will likely be significantly more expensive than its current model. The current iPad mini starts at $599 for a 128 GB configuration, but the new version may cost closer to $799, a $200 increase. This would place the new iPad mini above the starting price of the 11-inch iPad Air, which is currently $699.
The new iPad mini is expected to feature an OLED display for the first time, as well as a thinner chassis design, upgraded speakers, and a powerful A20 Pro chip. However, it remains unknown whether the OLED display will be as good as the iPad Pro's tandem OLED panel, or if it will support 120Hz ProMotion. The new iPad mini is rumored to be unveiled alongside new OLED MacBook Pros in a media event later this month.
