2026 iPad Mini to Debut Innovative New Speaker System
Apple is developing a next-generation iPad mini with a novel vibration-based speaker system that eliminates traditional speaker holes, according to Bloomberg.
The new acoustic design would allow sound to emit from flat surfaces on the device's chassis rather than through conventional grills.
By removing these openings, Apple aims to create a more water-resistant enclosure similar to the iPhone's protection level.
Current iPad mini models lack any official IP rating, and that means they're vulnerable to moisture damage, but the speaker hole redesign addresses one of the main areas where water typically penetrates a device.
According to Bloomberg, the approach differs from the iPhone, which relies on adhesives and gaskets around speaker openings to prevent water ingress.
