apple iPad mini 8 โฃto Feature iPhone 17 โPro Chip, Slightly larger Display, But Retains 60Hz Refresh Rate
CUPERTINO, CA – November 26, 2025 -โ Anticipationโข builds for Apple’s next-generation iPad mini as details emerge regarding the upcoming iPadโ mini 8. The device is expected to integrate โฃthe A19 Pro processor, previously featured inโ the โiPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, โalongside a modest screen size increase. However, reports indicate Apple will maintain โthe 60Hz refresh rate, a โขpoint of contention for users seeking a smoother visual experience.
The iPad mini series has long been favored for its portability and performance, catering to usersโฃ who prioritize a โcompact tablet experience. While the A19 Pro chip promises a significant โคperformance boost, bringing โthe iPad mini 8โข in line withโ Apple’s latest smartphone technology, the continued use of a 60Hz display-despite the adoption of an LTPS OLED panel-represents a missed prospect to address a longstanding criticism. This decision places the miniโฃ 8’s display experience below that of the standard โiPhoneโค 17.
according to sources, the iPad mini 8’s display will โgrow from 8.3 โขto 8.5 inches. Itโค remains โunclear whether Apple will implement native portrait or landscape display orientation support.
