Yes, but these are very different oled displays with lower ppi. If it would be that easy, apple would have no trouble getting oleds for their iphone X.
Got a tip for us?

2018 iPad Pro Models May Feature TrueDepth Camera for Face ID

If they put in face, I will buy one. My iPad 3 is ok but it no longer picks up the IOS updates :-( and it is the very slowest iPad so I will shell out, take your time Apple 
I thought it has todo with the extensive volume they need for which the factories just don’t exist yet.
But MacBooks and iPad ship in smaller volumes and once they can do it for the phone the other product should be possible to follow.
I could see Apple implementing a Guest user mode where the owner limits what guests can install, but iPads are too storage constrained to allow arbitrary users to download apps and media at their discretion. Your 64GB communal iPad with 48GB free suddenly becomes 17GB free overnight for no apparent reason—unless you could log in on the culprit's account to see he just added Season 7 of Game of Thrones to "your" iPad.
Yep, I think FaceID would make even more sense on the iPad (and MacBooks). Especially if you have it propped up on a desk with a keyboard. Then secured apps could essentially auto authenticate you when you launch them rather than reaching up to the bezel to rest your thumb.

But how will you put this in a case if it has no bezels? If you have a case with some bezel, I guess you'll be fine. They make them so thin and now with no bezels, do they think we won't put it in a case just to have some way to hold it?
I can't speak for him, but for me, the burden is that Touch ID (2nd gen, on new iPad Pro) doesn't work for me half the time (minimal changes to the skin on my thumbs due to weather changes, sweat, etc - it all makes Touch ID not recognize my prints). Honestly, I am considering turning it off completely and just using the passkey straight away.
Also, no one will have to hold a giant iPad to one's face, you'll use it like you normally do and Face ID will work.
I'll be honest I've always used the pin id on my phone and just started using the touch ID a few weeks ago and I'm in love with it. I have an iPad Air so can't comment on whether it works consistently on the iPad.
I love TouchID, but if FaceID does the job as well, I'll take the extra screen instead. The 10.8" iPad, all display would be great.
Why has nobody yet mentioned what TrueDepth could bring forward in a few years? Integrated with AR, I could see 3D modeling and printing being a real possibility. Could be really interesting for art and design apps...All anyone mentions about TrueDepth is in fear of FaceID.
Better question, if you're using your iPad for 16 hours a day, how often are you really needing to unlock it?
Wow! I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude but who the heck eats oily finger foods while using their iPad?! And do adults really eat cheetos?! 16-hours on the iPad over the weekend? I truly hope you remember to stand up every 30min to an hour otherwise the health of your fingers, is the least of your future health issues.
I too don't like switching from pencil to touch ID sometimes but I also don't like the idea of any always watching camera.
Yes adults eat cheetos. what kind of pretentious question is that?
Oh, is that right?! Good luck with that. Pretentious?! LOL!!!!
Yes, and some adults are obese, lazy people. Some adults smoke cigarettes, etc. Eating Cheetos is really all that you took away from the reply overall?! Clearly, you missed the primary point.
Yes, your comment lost all interest for me once you made that statement.
If they can dial in the palm/finger rejection stuff I see no reason they can't make a bezel-less iPad.
LOL!!! Thanks for letting me know something that means absolutely nothing to anyone other than you. Perhaps next time, you might want to just skip that which doesn't hold your interest. To be clear, I'm not concerned with what you find interesting or not. Move on, dude.

No, it's an iPhone 6. Mine works fine too, it's just something about her fingerprint.. lotion she wears.. something.
Why not introduce OLED to the iPad Pro line with Super Retina resolution.
Many articles on MR were reporting difficulties with the TrueDepth system, and now Apple is going to introduce this in 2018.
At present we have the A11Bionic in the iPhone 8(+) and X. The A10X in the iPad Pro. Reports that the iPhone X will reach supply and demand equilibrium mid 2018.
I suspect the iPhone neXt (2018) and iPad Pro 2018 will both have the A12(X) processor and introduced fall 2018. Leaving enough time to test, perfect and produce enough TrueDepth cameras for the iPad Pro 2018 redesign (x2 sizes) and iPhone 2018 (x2 sizes).
This will align the iPad Pro on an appropriate 15 months cycle (June 2017-Sep 2018).
Previous iPad Pro 9.7 was introduced March 2016 with the iPad Pro 10.5 introduced June 2017 (approximately 15 months).

Probably not so much. With the iPad, you are likely using it for sustained periods of time, like watching hours of Netflix at one go.
Unlike a smartphone where you can be locking and unlocking it multiple times a minute to respond to notifications and such. So anything which can make unlocking it more fluid and convenient than even Touch ID is always welcome, assuming Face ID lives up to the hype.
