| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 9 to 5 Mac Daily for Wednesday, October 29th, 2025. |
| 0:07.5 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.6 | We are supported this week by card pointers. |
| 0:13.2 | Leading off today, Apple is planning a major display upgrade for three future products, |
| 0:18.1 | according to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark German. |
| 0:20.8 | The same report also points to a significant upgrade coming specifically for the iPad Mini. |
| 0:26.7 | The report says that Apple is testing future versions of the MacBook Air, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini that feature OLED screen technology. |
| 0:36.1 | Apple currently uses OLED technology in the iPhone, iPad Pro, and Apple Watch. |
| 0:41.2 | And we've talked before about Apple's work on OLED versions of the MacBook Pro. |
| 0:46.1 | This is the first concrete rumor, however, about Apple's plans to expand OLED also to the MacBook Air, iPad Air, and iPad Mini. |

| 1:21.4 | Air. Apple will not add OLED to the MacBook Air before it adds it to the MacBook Pro. And once it does add it to the |
| 1:28.9 | MacBook Pro, it likely wants to wait at least another year to ensure that that's a differentiation |
| 1:34.5 | between the Air and the Pro in Apple's lineup. So with all of that said, the soonest I would |
| 1:40.3 | expect an OLED MacBook Air would be sometime in late 2027 or more likely early 2028. |
| 1:48.2 | Bloomberg goes on to say that the iPad Mini will be the first to make the switch to OLED. |
| 1:53.1 | Additionally, Bloomberg says that Apple is developing a new water-resistant design for the iPad Mini. |
| 1:58.8 | As part of this, Apple has explored a new speaker system that uses |
