Apple just announced a new iPad mini with an 8.5-inch OLED display — how to preorder

On October 28, Apple announced a new iPad mini featuring an 8.5-inch OLED display, with pre-orders opening at 10:10 a.m. PT on the same day. The base price for the 128GB version is $699, with larger storage options available at $899 for the 256GB model, and $999 for the maximum 512GB configuration. The device will be available for purchase starting November 6.

The new iPad mini boasts a thinner bezel while retaining the same size, thanks to an increased screen-to-body ratio. It's powered by the A20 Pro chip, an upgrade from the A17 Pro in the previous generation. The OLED display offers over double the peak brightness of its predecessor, reaching up to 1,200 nits, and the 12MP center camera is ideal for video calls.

Additionally, the new model is water and dust resistant. Tech experts lauded the previous model as the best for reading in Mashable's review, and the 8th Gen version promises to be equally portable and convenient, making it an excellent travel companion during the holiday season. Remember to set your alarm for October 28 at 10:10 a.m. PT to secure your preorder.
