[Now official] iPad mini 8 rumors: a 2nm A20 Pro chip, OLED display, landscape front camera and IP water resistance, expected to launch in October

Update: Apple officially announced the new iPad mini on October 26, 2026, from 24,900 baht, confirming several of the rumors below. Read the full details in Apple unveils new iPad mini.

Key point — MacRumors reports the iPad mini 8 rumor: A20 Pro 2nm chip, 12GB RAM, OLED display, landscape front camera, and IP water resistance, expected around October.

Why it matters — Apple already raised the iPad mini's price by $100 last June, citing memory costs. Adding OLED and more RAM pushes costs further, so the new model likely costs more and leans further into premium-device territory.

Worth watching — The actual launch date and price, neither confirmed by Apple yet.
