I am quite happy with the past iPad Pro but just wonder any rumours suggesting are we getting a better display brighter colour ...I seriously don’t need the 3 camera Lens for better photographing or 3D gaming... I just need a better display that all
Got a tip for us?

What do you need a better display for and how much are you willing to pay for it?
I’m not slamming the idea of improving screen tech. But with the iPhone then OLED gave Apple an excuse to raise prices to a ridiculous degree. So if Micro/Mini LED will make a $1000 Pro now start at $1200 then I'm genuinely curious what the use cases are that require it.

You shouldn’t really put micro-LED and mini-LED together like that. They are different technologies with different price points.
Mini-LED is what is rumoured to come, and shouldn’t necessarily increase the price by hundreds of dollars. Micro-LED would be very expensive, but it’s moot since Micro-LED is effectively vapourware anyway.
By the same token, using “MLed” in the thread title is rather confusing.
Yes the MSI Creator 17 is the first MiniLED Laptop from MSI. Which has hundreds of dimming zones in a 17” Display but they can’t do 120hz with the technology yet. Apple has a partnership with MSI who supplies its displays panels for the 34” 6K XDR Display with 576 dimming zones. I am sure Apple has a huge order already placed for a 16“ MiniLED Display for its 16” MacBook Pro which I will purchase next year. And make everyone who bought the 16” MBP ultra furious.
Also there’s no other Mini LED Laptop on the market which means Apple pretty much soaked up all of MSI’s possible production capacity.

1. MSI doesn't make display panels.
2. LG supplies the panel for the Apple Pro Display XDR.

More than Micro-LED people should worry about why is Apple thinking about combining the iPad Pro line up only in one uniform size, looks like the 11" iPad Pro is gonna be abandoned only to be converted into iPad Air. And only one unifrom 12" size for the iPad Pro.

12" iPad Pro model coming in March with Triple-Lens Camera and more
12" iPad Pro model coming in March with Triple-Lens Camera and ToF 3D Sensor. The 11" and 12.9" ones should disappear in favor of the new 12" model

Actually, that’s not a completely crazy idea. If they needed to redesign the 11/12.9 frame to be stronger then maybe a single 12” would be the solution. And that opens the door for a 14” later.
But then this is Apple and they have no problem shipping faulty designs for multiple generations so I wouldn’t expect any major changes for a while.

Nah. I don't believe this rumour. But I'd buy one. 😉More than Micro-LED people should worry about why is Apple thinking about combining the iPad Pro line up only in one uniform size, looks like the 11" iPad Pro is gonna be abandoned only to be converted into iPad Air.

BTW, that article has no actual new information. It's just speculation based off the DigiTimes article.

Everything till the actual product is released is in the realm of speculation ! lol !
I actually wonder if Apple might still continue to sell a tier without mini-LED at current iPad Pro prices ($800/$1000) and create a new tier for a mini-LED iPad ($1000/$1200).
In which case you would still be able to buy an iPad Pro without mini-LED at current prices. 🙂

I have the 12.9 2018. The 2020 IPad Pro is NOT enough. However, a MiniLED display would get me moving. Rumor has October. I wonder if Apple can get it ready by October or it will be 2021?

Maybe. People don’t seem to care that much about improvements in display quality beyond a certain point.
Yeah, probably for most people (i.e. the least expensive iPad is definitely the biggest seller) but for the iPad Pro's target market (prosumers, professional content creators, etc.) that having a true HDR-capable display would be a big selling point for an upgrade.

I use my current iPad Pro (2017) to edit photo's and some video in LumaFusion (such a great editing app by the way). I also have a catalog of movies and TV shows on iTunes, IF Apple do indeed add Mini-LED then i would buy a new iPad Pro, i think it would benefit my editing and even content consumption (especially those 4K HDR movies on iTunes).
At the moment i'm holding out to see what Apple announce with the next iPad Pro, also i want to see the Surface Neo and Duo from Microsoft. Both of those devices have my attention.
