Rumours are abound that the iPad Mini 8 is set to hit the shelves at the end of 2026, with one major upgrade it's worth getting excited about if you're a creative – an upgraded OLED display. We've long lauded the value of the iPad Mini if you're a creative on the go – it's surprisingly powerful for a little tablet – and if the rumours about the OLED screen are true, it's about to get even more useful especially as an iPad for drawing.
True, the screen real estate on the Mini you get isn't ideal for intense digital art or intricate content editing (it's 8.3 inches), but it's not always practical to haul around a big tablet with you, and the mini can sit in any size bag. This makes it perfect for on-the-go work, whether you're sketching, doodling, writing or simple edits.
