Sketchy rumor again says OLED iPad mini will lack one key feature
- Ahead of an expected launch later this month, reports from Asia suggest the new iPad mini 8 will feature an OLED display, though it may lack the ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate found on other Apple devices.
- A tipster on Korean Naver wrote that while overseas sources mention 120Hz, "domestic production quantity has already been confirmed to be LTPS at 60Hz" for the upcoming tablet.
- Apple's ProMotion displays dynamically adjust between 10Hz and 120Hz using LTPO OLED panels, whereas LTPS OLED panels typically pair with fixed refresh rates like 60Hz and offer reduced brightness.
- If accurate, the lack of ProMotion support would disappoint fans hoping for an upgrade from the current 8.3-inch LCD model, which features the A17 Pro chip.
- Apple is preparing for a significant hardware overhaul later this month, with the new iPad mini expected to debut alongside a touchscreen MacBook Pro during an anticipated event.
