Apple to launch OLED iPad Mini with 60Hz screen

Apple is expected to unveil an updated iPad Mini with an OLED display and a relocated front camera later this month, according to multiple reports. Rumors from Asia suggest the screen will be limited to a 60Hz refresh rate—no 120Hz ProMotion—though this specific claim comes from one less-reliable source. The device is also tipped to get improved speakers and possibly a more water-resistant design.

Why it mattersThe refresh rate may disappoint fans hoping for smoother scrolling and responsiveness, and highlights the trade-offs Apple is making as it upgrades its smaller tablet model. The move to OLED is likely to deliver better color and contrast, but not the faster display some were anticipating.
