New iPad Mini With Four Upgrades Expected to Launch by Late October‎

Apple is planning to release a new iPad mini model with an OLED display "by the end of October" this year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Apple already updated the iPad Pro with an OLED display in May 2024, but the iPad mini, iPad Air, and entry-level iPad are all still equipped with LCD screens. The move to OLED technology would result in the next iPad mini offering improved image quality, thanks to richer colors and higher contrast ratio with true blacks. Given that OLED displays are generally more expensive than LCDs, the next iPad mini could have a higher starting price compared to the current model. Gurman did not provide any other details about the next iPad mini today, but he previously reported that the device would receive a new type of speaker system and increased water resistance. The next iPad mini is also rumored to be powered by either an A19 Pro or A20 chip, up from the A17 Pro chip in the current model. The current ‌model launched in October 2024, with the A17 Pro chip enabling Apple Intelligence.Related Roundup: iPad miniTag: Mark GurmanBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Don't Buy)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "New iPad Mini With Four Upgrades Expected to Launch by Late October" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

AirPods 5 to Launch as Early as Next Month‎

Apple is planning to announce two new AirPods 5 models as early as Wednesday, September 9, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Like the AirPods 4, the AirPods 5 will be available with and without active noise cancellation, he said. AirPods 5 references were already discovered in macOS 26.7 code last week. The report did not say how the AirPods 5 will differ from the AirPods 4, which launched in September 2024 for $129 to $179.Related Roundup: AirPods 4Tag: Mark GurmanBuyer's Guide: AirPods (Caution)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "AirPods 5 to Launch as Early as Next Month" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

New Mac Mini Reportedly Set to Launch Before iPhone 18 Pro Event‎

Apple plans to unveil a new Mac mini in the "coming days," according to the latest word from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The new Mac mini will potentially be unveiled before the iPhone 18 Pro event, which is likely to take place on Wednesday, September 9, the report said. Gurman said the new Mac mini will likely be Apple's final new product unveiled before Tim Cook steps down as CEO on September 1, and if so, then it would need to be announced before August ends. Apple has tested versions of the Mac mini with both M5 and M6 chips, according to Gurman, but it remains unclear which generation of chips Apple ultimately plans to use in the next model. Currently, the Mac mini can be configured with a standard M4 chip or a higher-end M4 Pro chip, 16GB to 48GB of RAM, and up to 8TB of storage. At the start of May, Apple stopped offering the Mac mini with 256GB of storage for $599, resulting in a 512GB model for $799 becoming the lowest-priced configuration available. Then, in late June, Apple reintroduced the 256GB configuration for $799 after raising prices on all Macs and iPads, the Apple TV, HomePods, and the Vision Pro. Due to the rising popularity of the Mac mini for on-device AI models, combined with the ongoing memory chip shortage, the Mac mini has been facing extended delivery estimates over the past few months. Currently, the Mac mini has a 4-10 week delivery estimate on Apple's online store in the U.S. depending on the configuration. In February, Apple announced that Foxconn would begin assembling some Mac mini units at a factory in Houston, Texas later this year. The facility opened this month, with Cook joining U.S. government officials to celebrate the grand opening. So, perhaps Apple's announcement for the new Mac mini will emphasize U.S. assembly.Related Roundups: iPhone 18 Pro, Mac miniTag: Mark GurmanBuyer's Guide: Mac Mini (Don't Buy)Related Forum: Mac miniThis article, "New Mac Mini Reportedly Set to Launch Before iPhone 18 Pro Event" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Siri AI Will Have a Waitlist When iOS 27 Launches‎

iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate include Siri AI, Apple's much more capable version of ‌Siri‌. When the new updates launch, it appears Apple will use a waitlist and limit initial access. On the MacRumors forums, Mactracker found that the seventh betas of ‌iOS 27‌, ‌iPadOS 27‌, and ‌macOS Golden Gate‌ include waitlist infrastructure. Apple will use dynamic wait time messages once a user joins the ‌Siri‌ AI waitlist. It looks like Apple will give a clear estimate of the wait, and the company will be able to adjust the wait time readouts server-side based on demand and capacity. Apple will send a notification when ‌Siri‌ AI can be used. ‌Siri‌ AI had a waitlist during the beta testing period. It took up to a week for some people to get access, but there's no indication yet of how long people might have to wait after the public launch in September.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Tag: SiriThis article, "Siri AI Will Have a Waitlist When iOS 27 Launches" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
