Shadowing Practice: 2026 iPad mini - The BIGGEST Upgrade Yet! - Learn English Speaking with Video

OK, so we just got a ton of new leaks on the upcoming OLED iPad mini.

Honestly, this may just be the biggest mini upgrade that Apple has ever done, even bigger than the recent redesign.

We're talking about a chip that's so powerful that it has no business being in a mini, a screen that's about to get a whole lot bigger actually, not just, you know, brighter and with better black levels,

and a price that you're probably not gonna believe.

So get those snacks ready and here's everything we know, about a new iPad Mini.

So first off, of course, the new iPad mini OLED is going to use an OLED display.

But before we get into that, let me talk about the new design, because according to Mark Vermitt, it's getting a new design.

It's going to be water resistant, just like the new iPhones, and with some other changes as well.

And that does actually make a lot of sense because it's a smaller iPad, so you're probably going to take it with you anywhere.

In fact, the Kindle Paperwhite is about the same size as an iPad mini, and that's also water resistant.

So for reading, this new iPad mini would just be awesome.

But what about those four gigantic speaker grills?

Won't water get inside through them?

Well, here's the pretty crazy part.

According to Mark Gurman, Apple may be removing those speaker grills entirely.

Um.. wait, what?

Yeah, Apple's been testing a brand new speaker system

that uses vibration technology as opposed to what the iPhone does where the speakers are open

but then we've got rubber seals on the inside to prevent water from...

enriching the logic board.

So we'll have to see how good these new vibration -based speakers really are,

and really why Apple even decided to go this route as opposed to the more traditional rubber gasket route.

Now, David from my team uses an iPad Mini 7 every single day

and he told me that his biggest complaint is not the lack of a 60Hz refresh rate or the performance

Or the speakers, no, those are all fine.

It's the fact that a $500 iPad, sorry $600 as of last week, more on that in a bit, still ships with a basic LCD display.

And that's just so disappointing.

Don't get me wrong, the display is fine, the colors are pretty accurate, but the second you watch any darker scenes,

the blacks suddenly turn into gray and a display upgrade is long overdue.

Just like a design upgrade.

the Mini's design has not changed in 5 years, ever since the 6th generation launched back in 2021.

So yeah, a design and a display change they're both definitely needed.

And they also go hand in hand, because all the panels are way thinner than an LCD assembly.

which could finally enable a new, much thinner design.

One that also gets thinner bezels.

So we may actually be getting some sort of an iPad Mini Pro, right?

Or an iPad Pro Mini.

I would absolutely love to see something like that, but an iPad Mini Pro of course means nothing without that screen to match.

So let's talk about that OLED display.

Because as of last week, Samsung Display has reportedly begun manufacturing the panels for this new iPad Mini.

And this also lines up with the inauguration of Samsung's brand new 8 .6th generation OLED production line.

So, yeah, I'm personally convinced that the OLED iPad Mini is finally happening.

And it's happening pretty soon.

Now let's talk about the big one: ProMotion.

We still don't know for sure whether that's happening.

But here's the thing: while initial reports have suggested that we may be sticking with a 60Hz refresh rate, I personally still think there's a chance we will actually get 120.

And that's because the iPad Mini has always been an upscale iPad.

Like, definitely not a budget iPad, right?

And since Apple did just bring promotion to their regular iPhone, the iPhone 17, I'm pretty sure, or at least I hope, that we'll see it on the Mini as well.

But what do you guys think?

Will the lack of a 120Hz refresh rate be a deal breaker for you

or will you still be happy with just getting OLED?

But either way, this will most likely be a standard single stack OLED panel rather than the tandem OLED

that we first saw on the iPad Pro.

So I'm expecting a maximum brightness of around 500 to 600

nits as opposed to the 1600 nits brightness on the iPad Pro.

And honestly, I think that's still perfectly fine.

Because the upgrade from LCD to OLED is way bigger

and more noticeable than the jump from a standard OLED panel to a tandem OLED panel.

So, for the vast majority of people, this display is gonna feel like a massive upgrade.

And the display like that definitely deserves some equally gorgeous wallpapers.

Like these stunning ones right here, Or here.

Yeah, just go to wallpapersapp .com for a limited time 10 % off until the end of the week.

OK, now here's the unexpected part.

The display may also grow in size quite a lot, from 8 .3" all the way up to 8 .7".

So why is this such a big deal?

Well, it's actually getting surprisingly close to 9 .5 inches, which not long ago was the size of the standard iPad.

So yeah, just think about that.

The Mini is about to be almost as big as the regular iPad used to be, or at least when it comes to the actual viewable display area.

Although honestly, this isn't that surprising.

It's simply just the direction that a whole industry has been moving towards.

A few years ago, a 6 .1 -inch phone felt massive.

But today, anything under 6 .5 inches feels pretty compact.

But the bigger screen is only half the story, because what Apple is reportedly putting inside this thing is where it gets even more interesting.

Now, remember how I mentioned in my previous video that we may be getting the A19 Pro chip?

Yeah, that's still a solid possibility.

those BINZ A19 Pro chips for a second gen MacBook Neo.

Video on that right here by the way.

So instead we might be seeing the A20 Pro inside the OLED iPad Mini

and that would be just insane for such a small iPad.

That's the same chip that's rumored to be coming in the foldable iPhone Ultra

and the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max.

And it will also very likely be paired with the same 12GB of RAM for full Apple Intelligent support.

And Apple, if you're watching this video, please don't waste all that power on a 60Hz panel.

Give us promotion.

But either way, this A20 Pro report comes from a tipster who analyzed a Mac OS kernel debug kit packed with some internal Apple codenames.

And yeah, it's true that the iPad Mini was always a generation or two behind the latest and greatest A -Series chips, but here's the thing.

Back in 2021, Apple released the iPhone 13 lineup and at the exact same time, they also released the 6th generation iPad Mini.

and they all had the latest A15 chip.

Yeah, the A20 Pro is absolutely a possibility.

So what about the other chips, the ones for Bluetooth, Wi -Fi and cellular?

Well, this hasn't been confirmed yet, but I'm almost certain that this new iPad mini will come with Apple's own N1 chip, which enables Wi -Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.

And as for the cellular chips, I'm pretty sure we'll get either the C1X, like in the latest iPad Pros, or even the brand new C2, which has just been rumored.

I've been using my M5 iPad Pro 13 -inch since it came out.

yeah, it just changed the way I use my iPad.

I can just open it up and I'm instantly connected to the internet.

So, yeah, cellular on any device, especially an iPad or MacBook is just Such a great blessing to have.

Which brings me to the thing that I've been avoiding this whole video.

And that is of course the price.

100

Let me just give you a bit of context.

101

The iPad mini 4th and 5th generations were $399.

102

The 6th gen, which came with a full redesign, bumped that price up by $100, all the way up to $500.

103

Now, the price went up again just last week, which I'm sure you've heard about, you've probably seen our video or you've just read about it on the news,

104

but now it's up at $600.

105

And if you add an OLED display on top of that, a new waterproof design, a much faster chip, more RAM, all of that...

106

Yeah, you can see where this is going.

107

So I'm personally thinking that Apple will easily add another $100, maybe even $200 extra on top of the current gen's price.

108

would honestly make this new OLED iPad Mini $799 to begin with.

109

And if that's the case for just a small iPad Mini, when a few years ago we actually had the 11 -inch iPad Pro start from that same price,

110

Well, yeah, this would be pretty insane.

111

But if the price isn't an issue for you and you're still tempted to get one, when should we actually expect it?

112

Well, almost every leaker out there reports a late 2026 release, including AT News, ZDNet Korea, Incident Digital, and even Mark Kerman.

113

Now, the September event is already very packed, with the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, the iPhone Ultra, the new Apple Watches with the Ultra 4, by the way, set at the beginning of redesign.

114

So I'm not really sure if Apple will have the time to also announce this completely brand new iPad Mini.

115

I'm thinking that maybe they'll leave this until the October or November event, at which we'll also get the brand new, redesigned, MacBook Ultra.

116

And that's about everything we've got for now.

117

But yeah, don't worry, we'll have plenty more leaks as soon as we get closer to the launch, so make sure that you subscribe to the channel.

118

Don't forget to check out the limited time discount for our online wallpaper store.

119

It actually ends this week.

120

It's 10 % now.

121

Next week it will be 0%.

122

So yeah, check it out, worldbepreserved .com.

123

I'm Daniel, this is Enough Tech, and I'll see you guys in the next one.

124

125

Cheers.

126

you Bye.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
