Apple's new iPad mini goes OLED and gets thinner
Apple has unveiled an all-new iPad mini, which it describes as the biggest update ever for the model. The headline changes are an OLED display and a thinner, lighter design, paired with the A20 Pro chip.
Why it matters: OLED on a compact tablet signals where premium small-format devices are heading. Display quality and form factor are often what separate a tablet people use daily from one they leave in a drawer, so this update is a useful signal for product teams, designers and anyone tracking the mobile hardware market.
For professionals in devices, content creation and mobile software, a more capable mini tablet also raises the bar for how apps and media are designed for smaller screens.
