Apple is reportedly preparing its biggest refresh of the iPad mini in years, with leaks pointing to a 2026 launch, a new OLED display and a faster A-series chip. One question already dominating interest in the device is whether the iPad mini 8 will be waterproof.
So far, the answer appears to be no, at least not in the full sense of the word. Reports suggest Apple is working on a more water‑resistant design, but there is still no confirmation that the next iPad mini will carry a formal IP rating.
