2024 iPad Pro Models Likely to Debut Thinner Hybrid OLED Panel Tech

Id like a 15” iPad Pro 🤤

Ya, and A19/M5 will be manufactured by Samsung!

Isn't it rumored Apple is going to release 27" Mini LED display?
Why then the iPad Pro switches to OLED?

I’m curious why your experience with the 10.5” only began a few months ago. I got mine in May of 2018 and later that year they changed to the current Pro design but I held onto it (but wow, did I feel like I had bad timing). I returned the M2 I bought in November because the screen is essentially the same, my modest use case makes them both the same, so there’s still life left in my 10.5” until OLED is released. That, and Apple changed my trade-in offer to $0 (lcd bleed) so I got it back and will use it until OLED.

I never had an iPad before and never really even had the desire to get one, but I bought it used (on a pretty tight budget) around the end of the year for work. Just was starting to seem like the best solution for me. The alternatives were frustrating and enough was enough.

Truthfully, I really only got it to post from/manage social media accounts for my business. Bouncing back and forth from my personal accounts on my iPhone was a real PITA. Ultimately I would end up staying logged into one account and totally ignoring the other for extended periods of time.

PC/web browser based interfaces are heavily restricted in functionality compared to the apps, totally unusable for most purposes. So I couldn’t just work from a PC and stay logged in there. And I tried running the Android apps in an Android emulator on PC, but the “equivalent” Android apps are quite frankly garbage compared to the iOS versions. Equally as nonfunctional as the web apps, if not worse.


Just getting an iPad dedicated to those accounts made everything a million times better. I don’t particularly NEED the latest and greatest, although it would certainly be nice to have (and I am starting to get the upgrade bug) the older iPad Pro more than fulfilled its purpose for me.

oled will be for the ipad air..not the pro
We will excuse him for this little mistake

No it won’t

Give us what we want, a 16 inch iPad Pro Max!

So now all iPad Pro 12.9" models will come not just bent but warped 😃?
Seriously, Apple should work on making adjustments to iPad Pro chassis durability.

I’m really excited about the Apple OLED iPads. I’ll buy an 11” as soon as it’s available!

Looking forward to OLED iPads. Hoping to see a new Apple Pencil also.

I'm more interested in microLED when it finally arrives.

Haha, this always confused me! The Air is called that because it’s light and does not have all the features of the Pro. It would be very odd for Apple to add a more expensive front panel to the Air before the Pro.

If there’s any issues with 120hz on these panels that would explain such a split: keep promotion/miniled on the pros, oled at 60hz on the air

Everyone is looking forward to microLED! It’s currently blinding expensive and not ready for mass production, there are huge hurdles to solve. Perhaps in another decade we’ll see consumer products. However you don’t have to wait… $80,000 will buy you a decent sized microLED TV today, if you’ve got those 💴 burning in your pocket. 😉

If it makes the iPad 12.9 Pro lighter and thinner, then that would be an immediate buy from my M1 iPad Pro 12.9.

Agreed, and if it also improves battery life I’d run even faster to my computer on launch day to buy one. The battery life on my M1 12.9” Pro is terrible, probably about 5.5 hours of screen-on time all on WiFi (mine is the WiFi-only version). There is no way I can get through a day without not just a top-up charge but needing to charge it back to close to 100% at some point during the day To get through the evening.

I agree the battery life is really poor. They really need to improve that too.
