Macworld As a minimalist, I’ve long wanted to replace the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 I use for work with a slimmer and more portable iPad. Following the iPad Pro M5’s debut, I came across a heavily discounted M4 model.

Apple's new M5 iPad Pro was unboxed by Russian YouTuber before release, but the company bricked it over-the-air, turns it into an expensive paperweight.

This upgrade will happen later in the year, but according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has its eyes on the iPad mini to be its next major product to make the transition. Apple first introduced OLED to the iPad Pro back in early 2024 with the M4 model, after bringing it to the iPhone lineup starting in 2017.

It's designed to be as future-proof as any tablet can be, especially when it comes to quickly advancing on-device AI tools.

The iPad Mini 8 is also expected to support the Apple Pencil Pro, catering to creative users such as artists, designers, and note-takers. This compatibility ensures the device remains versatile and appealing to a broad audience, even as its design evolves to meet modern demands.

Old iPad gathering dust? Here's how to turn it into a menu, teleprompter, workout screen, backup computer or more without spending much.

Samsung Display’s higher shipment forecasts for the Apple iPad Pro and the new iPad mini, are expected to drive significant OLED growth in 2026. Chinese OLED tablet panel suppliers are also targeting higher volumes for both rigid and flexible OLED tablet panels next year.
