The next iPad mini might come with a huge display upgrade

Apple's next iPad mini could have a massive display upgrade in tow, switching from IPS LCD panels to OLED. Apple is apparently currently testing Samsung-made OLED panels for the most diminutive iPad, and it would of course be a very welcome change to see the next iPad mini with an OLED screen. It's been rumored to make its debut in 2026, around two years after its predecessor which launched last October. The 2024 iPad mini was also rumored to get an OLED panel back in 2023, but that obviously didn't happen and so the introduction of the new display tech got postponed to the next iteration...

Poco F7 Pro vs. Poco F7 Ultra

The Poco F series has taken a little shift in positioning this year, this time the Pro getting outdone by an Ultra, instead of having a vanilla model on its other side.

Samsung's tri-fold smartphone to only launch in two countries, database listing suggests

Samsung's first tri-fold device (which might be called Galaxy G Fold) has been in the rumors a lot this year, and now it seems like it will get a release later in 2025. That's the good news.
