What we know about iPad mini (OLED, A20 Pro) pricing

- Starting price: HighTechDad (October 26, 2026) said $699 for the 128GB Wi-Fi model and $849 with cellular, shipping November 6, with preorders opening October 28. MIXED News (October 28, 2026) also gave $699 and the November 6 date.
- All tiers: MIXED News (October 28, 2026) listed 128GB at $699 Wi-Fi and $849 cellular, 256GB at $799 and $949, and 512GB at $999 and $1,149. Cellular models are eSIM only. Nano-texture glass is $100 more on the 256GB and 512GB models.
- What you get: MIXED News (October 28, 2026) reported an 8.5-inch OLED display, an A20 Pro chip, 5.4mm thickness, midnight and starlight colors, and 600 nits full-screen brightness with a 1,200-nit HDR peak. The 512GB model has a six-core CPU and the others have five cores.

- Check the seller: make sure it is Apple, Amazon or a store you trust.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Comparing different tiers. The 512GB model also has a six-core CPU, per MIXED News.

- Assuming a launch discount. We found no discount on the new model yet.
- Mixing it up with the A17 Pro mini. They are different models with different prices.
