Apple’s triple-whammy week begins with iPad mini
Apple watchers predicted something like this: The company is ending October with a triple-whammy of new products, starting with its newly introduced iPad mini with OLED display. The rest of the week is expected to feature new Macs, specifically an M6 MacBook Pro and iMac and Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro. There’s no disputing how popular the iPad mini has become among some business users.…
In a busy week for Apple, the tech giant kicked off with the launch of its newest iPad mini featuring an OLED display on October 26, 2026. The iPad mini with OLED display is followed by new Macs, specifically an M6 MacBook Pro and iMac, and Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pro. The iPad mini is a favorite among business professionals, who use it as a digital notebook, second display, and in industries such as logistics, hospitality, and field services.
Starting at $699 for 128GB storage, the iPad mini is $100 more expensive than its predecessor. Apple introduced several enhancements, including a thinner and lighter design, upgraded display, faster performance, and better water and dust resistance. However, the device lacks a 120Hz refresh rate. Critics have noted that the A20 chip used in the iPad mini is a binned version, with fewer CPU cores and no Dual 16-core Neural Engine.
Despite the potential price concerns, the iPad mini is a significant upgrade and an exciting choice for Apple users. Pre-orders are available from October 28 and ship on November 6.
