Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the next iPad mini, expected at the end of October with an OLED display, will cost close to $799 in the US, up from $599 today. That would place it above the 11-inch iPad Air in Apple's US lineup, and Frandroid estimates it would cost around 920 euros in France if the current pricing gap holds.
Gurman noted the tablet would be the first iPad mini with an OLED display.
Apple has not confirmed it.
