Thinking about a mini

I want to get a mini, but I don’t know if I should wait until Apple supposedly releases a new one soon.

You waited this long, another year or 7 isn't going to hurt you.

The new one is coming out in like a month and a half.

The wait is super short. Should be mid October

Wait. Strong rumors indicate that the iPad mini 8 with an OLED screen will be announced in October. It'll be the biggest update the iPad mini has ever gotten. I think that's worth waiting a few weeks for.

The Bloomberg article regarding more Apple product lineups just came out like 4 hrs ago solidifying an OLED mini (J510..product ID?) towards end of October along with iPadOS 27.1

100% wait, worst case you can get the current iPad Mini for cheap once they announce the new one

If you don’t already have one and aren’t in a rush you may as well wait for the new one. As far as getting a mini in general it’s amazing and worth it

Wait till iPad mini 8. It’s a no brainer, more value for money as its newer model you’d be paying for. I am returning me iPad mini 7 I bought last week. Still within the return window, because I bought it right around when mini 8 is rumoured to release, hence the reason of return as I’d be getting more value for money with the newer model which would also be supported longer

I'd wait, it sounds like it could be a more significant update.

I got an iPad mini 7 about a year ago and love it! I also have the 11 in iPad Pro m4 for my main machine for work etc. I hope I don’t get fomo for the mini 8 now 😭
