Three iPad mini frames showing the blue and orange 2026 wallpapers on a dark background

Apple announced the new iPad mini on October 26, 2026. It is the first iPad mini with an OLED screen: an 8.5-inch Super Retina XDR display, the A20 Pro chip and IP67 water resistance, from $699. Pre-orders opened on October 28 and it goes on sale on November 6.

It comes with two new wallpapers: the same looping ribbon design in a blue and an orange version. Each file is 1512 x 2316 pixels, so it fills an iPad screen in portrait and also works on phones.

Note: Wallpapers shown here are only a preview, for the high-quality version scroll down and use the download link.

Which one should you pick?

  • Blue: cool blue to violet on black. It suits dark mode and blue or purple accent colors.
  • Orange: warm red to gold on black. It stands out more behind white app icons and widgets.

Both have a black background, which looks best on the new OLED screen because black pixels are switched off.

How to set the wallpaper on iPad

  1. Save the image to Photos.
  2. Open Settings, tap Wallpaper, then Add New Wallpaper.
  3. Choose Photos, pick the image and tap Add.
  4. Set it as a pair, or customize the Home Screen separately.

On iPhone the steps are the same. On Android, open the image in your gallery and choose Set as wallpaper.
