Apple unveiled an iPad mini with an 8.5-inch OLED display and an A20 Pro chip. The company announced the tablet on October 26, with US prices starting at $699.

Preorders begin on October 28, ahead of availability on November 6. A preorder lets a customer place an order before the product is released; it does not mean immediate delivery.
