Apple's own website now hints at a new iPad mini

Apple is expected to unveil an iPad mini 8 featuring an OLED display next week. Evidence includes a listing for an unreleased Smart Folio case with model number A3632 on Apple's French regulatory site, which does not match existing cases. The device is anticipated to be showcased during a Los Angeles experience on Wednesday, October 28, where attendees may also see M6-powered iMacs and MacBook Pros with touch-enabled OLED screens. This suggests a coordinated hardware refresh focusing on OLED technology across multiple product lines.
