While Apple is rumored to be gearing up to introduce an OLED iPad mini<\/a> later this month, an oversight on the company\u2019s French site might have just confirmed the product\u2019s existence. Here are the details.<\/p>\n Next-gen iPad mini likely to get a new Smart Folio<\/p>\n As spotted by MacRumors<\/a>, Apple\u2019s French regulatory website currently lists<\/a> a Smart Folio for iPad mini with the model number A3632, which doesn\u2019t correspond to any existing products.<\/p>\n The regulatory document is dated September 8, 2026, although it\u2019s unclear when Apple actually added the listing to its website.<\/p>\n Compared with the Smart Folio for iPad mini<\/a> (6th generation), whose regulatory document is dated December 22, 2022, the unreleased accessory has some notable differences.<\/p>\n According to Apple\u2019s documentation, the new Smart Folio contains at least 3% recycled materials, compared with a minimum of 9% in the current model. It also contains at least 6,610 milligrams of rare earth elements, compared with 3,947 milligrams in the previous version<\/a>, which could indicate changes to the magnets used to attach the cover to the iPad.<\/p>\n While these figures don\u2019t reveal anything specific about the accessory\u2019s design, the fact that Apple has assigned it a new model number suggests that changes may be coming.<\/p>\n For context, the sixth- and seventh-generation iPad mini <\/a>models are compatible with the same Smart Folio, so a new accessory could indicate that the upcoming model will feature physical changes that affect case compatibility.<\/p>\n The next-gen iPad mini is rumored<\/a> to feature an OLED display, Apple\u2019s A20 Pro chip, thinner bezels, a relocated front-facing camera, and a redesigned speaker system. Bloomberg has also reported that Apple is working on a more water-resistant design, while recent rumors suggest the device could cost considerably more<\/a> than its predecessor.<\/p>\n There are currently conflicting reports on whether the new iPad mini will retain a 60Hz refresh rate or gain support for 120Hz ProMotion.<\/p>\n While previous reports had left the possibility of ProMotion open, leaker yeux1122 recently reiterated<\/a> that the device will be limited to a 60Hz OLED display.<\/p>\n According to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a>, Apple has indeed tested both options, but he hasn\u2019t been able to confirm which one the company ultimately chose.<\/p>\n To see the regulatory listing for yourself (at least while it remains available on Apple\u2019s website), follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n Worth checking out on Amazon<\/p>\n
