Apple May Start Selling OLED iPad mini on 6 November 2026

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Apple may begin selling its latest compact tablet, the iPad mini with an OLED display, on 6 November 2026.

The information comes from Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, as reported by Phone Arena on Sunday (28 October), local time.

Gurman said the timing was indicated by plans to rearrange Apple’s retail outlets, including Apple Stores, on the evening of Thursday, 5 November.

A change to the stores’ layouts suggests that new signage will be installed and new products displayed on the shop tables.

The date of the rearrangement follows Apple’s usual product-release pattern, in which products generally go on sale about a week after they are announced.

Gurman said the OLED iPad mini would not be marketed on its own. Other products expected to be offered include a touchscreen MacBook, an M6 iMac and a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip.

This information suggests that the OLED iPad mini and the other three products could be announced around 28 October 2026.

This would also be consistent with Apple’s plans to host a dinner for technology influencers on Tuesday, 27 October, followed by a full day of scheduled activities the next day.

The current iPad mini was announced on 15 October 2024 and went on sale on 23 October 2024, exactly eight days after the company’s announcement.

Reports so far suggest that the OLED iPad mini will be priced higher than its predecessor, at an estimated US$799 (about Rp14.4 million). That would be roughly US$200 more than its predecessor, which was sold for US$599 (about Rp9 million in 2024).

When released, the OLED iPad mini will compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S12, which went on sale on 7 October 2026.
