So frustrating that Apple treats OLED and Promotion like a revolutionary new technology. On Android side even a mid-budget Galaxy Tab S9 has OLED and 120 Hz already.

OLED screen hurts my eyes. I will stick to my M1 iPad.
Speaking of OLED vs other types of panels, I've noticed that if I watch an HDR movie on my (non-mini LED) iPad Pro 11" via Apple TV app, it is absurdly dark unless I turn on Battery ---> Low Power Mode. This applies across dozens of movie titles and is obviously a software issue.
If Apple decides to address this issue with the new OLED iPad 11", that might be a reason for movie fans to upgrade.

It sounds like you are disabling HDR and forcing it to SDR. Presumably that will increase the average brightness, but will turn off the ability to display proper bright highlights.
OTOH, what the iPad Pro 11" is likely doing in regular mode is properly displaying the HDR content for movies, but you have to turn up the brightness, so that bright highlights are bright, and non-bright content isn't dark.
If that is the case, it appears to be working as intended. BTW, this wouldn't be limited to the Apple TV app. Other video players that can display HDR content on the iPad Pro may behave similarly.

I use my iPad 90% of the time. Rarely use my MacBook Pro.
It's not worth any price hike, IMO. I don't see why every time any incremental change happens a price hike is needed. I remember back in the original PC days of the late 1980s when improvements were just standard operating procedure and you just got more/better for the same money. Not like this Apple gouging for every perceived modification/improvement that are often years-old commodities in every other device. For example these OLED displays - we've had TVs 100 times the size of an iPad display for years and they cost no more than the better miniLED displays, yet the article discusses yields on these like it's some new technology that's not already well-understood and is large-scale production.
I don't know - I far prefer using a tablet/iPad for almost every task from web browsing to email, to watching shows/YouTube, etc. And Stage Manager alone is a feature that makes an iPad preferable to a phone.
Yeah, who wants stinky miniLED with a brighter display than OLED, and with zero burn in risk? Ick.
It's gonna be very expensive because of OLED itself, LPTO, Two Stack Tandem, 11~13 size, high specs, and more. Two stack tandem itself cost 2~3 times than typical OLED so I dont think it will be cheap. Beside OLED for 11~32 inch with high pixel density is totally rare and not profitable due to high manufacturing cost and difficult to mass produce.
Fruits were hanging lower back then.
Apple is using a new two-stack tandem OLED technology, which is a new manufacturing process. Difficulties with developing that process have been reported over the last few years.
PWM eye strain issues?
Why must OLEDs use this technique? Why can't they work like other displays that don't use PWM - anyone know off the top of their head?
Samsung has tablets with a thickness of 5.5 mm, including their latest 14” tablet, and those do not bend. Samsung just announced thinner OLED panels last month, which might account for the 5.0 mm reported for the upcoming 13” iPad Pro.
It’s a 28% decrease in thickness for the 13”, which is quite substantial. What’s more important than the thickness as such is that it will likely translate to a corresponding weight reduction. The current 12.9” iPad isn’t exactly light-weight.
iPhone 15 Pro (oled):
- 1000 nits max brightness (typical); 1600 nits peak brightness (HDR); 2000 nits peak brightness (outdoor)
- XDR brightness: 1000 nits sustained full-screen, 1600 nits peak (HDR content only)
- SDR brightness: 600 nits
You should really research burn-in more instead of regurgitating the same thing from 10yrs ago. When is the last time a normal users iPhone had burn-in, which would be more inline with how iPads are used vs a laptop/desktop.
Tell me, is there any OLED with 11~16 inch size and high peak brightness? iPhone's screen is small and therefore, it does NOT represent other devices. Smartphone/TV and 11~32 inch OLED are totally different markets. Cant really compare each other and at least iPhone doesn't really turn on every single day unlike iPad or Mac.
Having 2000 nit on iPhone vs iPad/Mac is totally different. If not, OLED supposed to be widely adapted already but in reality, it never did. And even iPhone gets burn-in easily so I dont see the point when iPad/Mac requires professional grade quality and trustworthy.

Nota at all, I said there os very little I can’t do on an iPad that i could do with a Comptuer.
Apps are that makes it worsted, Affinity, DaVinci, LumaFusion, Office, those pro app makes it a pro machine not the OS.
The os has its quirks and could def be better, but it’s not the reason why it is not a “computer”.
Thereis little i do in Finder on computer anyway, it’s just for organizing things, the rest is done in app, wich the iPad makes very well.
It does not do the same as an iPhone, it does more than an iPhon could (re read my post. there is little I cannot do with an iPad and could not do many thing with the iPhone only. As in there is little i cannot do with an iPad that i could on a computer. Don’t here is much more i can do with an iPad that i could not to with a phone).
THere is no way i could proficiently do on an iPhone with the mentioned apps, while they are perfect on iPads.
I agree with the Apple commercial, what’s a computer? as i barely use one nowadays, there is simply less need for it (for many, not all usage scenarios)
