iPad mini (A20 Pro, OLED)

Apple's first OLED iPad mini is on sale from Nov 6: 8.5-inch OLED, A20 Pro and IP67, from $699.

Apple calls it the iPad mini's biggest update: an 8.5-inch OLED display (up to 1,200 nits peak, optional nano-texture on 256GB and 512GB models for $100 more), a 5.4 mm body with 24% thinner bezels, the 2nm A20 Pro, IP67 water and dust resistance (a first for an iPad), an 'Acoustic Display' speaker system, a landscape 12MP Center Stage front camera, Apple's N1 chip (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6) and C2 modem on cellular models. The 512GB model gets a 6-core CPU and a dual 16-core Neural Engine; 128GB and 256GB models get a 5-core CPU. There is still no ProMotion. Colors are midnight and starlight. The $699 start is $100 above the previous model. Pre-orders open Oct 28 at 10:10 a.m. PT in 36 countries and regions. As of Oct 29, AppleInsider reports most models still ship Nov 6; only cellular models with nano-texture slip, to 2-3 weeks. Update Nov 3: the first full reviews are out (Engadget, The Verge, 9to5Mac), praising the OLED screen and A20 Pro while flagging the higher price and the lack of ProMotion. Update Nov 6: MacRumors confirms the OLED iPad mini is available to buy from Apple's online store and Apple Store app today, with pre-orders arriving and units reaching Apple Stores and Authorized Resellers. Australia and New Zealand got the first in-store and delivery window as Nov 6 rolled west.
