Rumor Claims OLED iPad Mini Will Keep 60Hz Display Without ProMotion

A new rumor claims Apple's expected OLED iPad mini will still use a 60Hz display without ProMotion, though the report has not been corroborated and comes from a source with a mixed track record.

It is the second time the same claim has appeared, and both times the information has come from the same source, 9to5Mac said. The account often appears to repeat information from unnamed sources rather than publishing its own reporting, according to the report. No other reliable sources have corroborated the 60Hz claim.

The latest post from yeux1122 said “there is mention of 120Hz in some overseas sources” for the new OLED iPad mini, but added that “domestic production volume has already confirmed” the display will run at 60Hz. 9to5Mac said it was treating the rumor with skepticism because of the source’s track record and lack of corroboration.

If accurate, the limitation would arrive alongside other expected upgrades. The next iPad mini is expected to bring an OLED display, Apple’s A20 Pro chip up from the current model’s A17 Pro chip, a refreshed design with smaller bezels that could be more water-resistant, and a FaceTime camera moved to the horizontal bezel like other iPad models. Apple has not announced the product or confirmed any specifications.

The possible gap between those upgrades and the display specification is the focus of the rumor. 9to5Mac said that if Apple makes those changes but stops short of adding ProMotion and a 120Hz refresh rate, it would sour the launch of the new iPad mini. The device is expected to launch later this month, so the claim could be tested soon.

Editor's Summary

Apple's expected OLED iPad mini may still have a 60Hz display without ProMotion, according to a rumor from yeux1122 reported by 9to5Mac. The claim has not been corroborated and comes from a source with a mixed record. If it proves accurate, the missing 120Hz feature could disappoint buyers when the tablet is expected to launch later this month.
