Apple Could Release OLED iPad With Samsung Display Panel in 2024

This sort of reminds me when Apple iPhones just used an LCD screen and would find ways to justify it against OLED. Now iPhones use OLED and for the most part everyone loves it with the occasional exception. Even Nintendo for crying out loud is going with OLED for the switch and people love it. For consumption OLED is the winner for the most part.
You forgot to mention that it will all come down to whether Apple can have Samsung shave off $2 on the price of each panel.
So Apple uses OLED on a flagship product that sells leaps and bounds compared to an iPad Pro and MBP and you feel it’s nonsense. At one point some years ago iPad sales were plummeting, it stabilized a bit but still declining. MBP sales do not even play in the same arena as the OLED based iPhone and AppleWatch, but okay OLED is nonsense.
I presume someday when OLED arrives on the iPad and/or MB line you will stop purchasing Apple products, actually since most of android phones are also OLED and the trend for windows based laptops is heading the same direction along with monitors starting with gaming geared ones, you may as well remove technology with OLED out of your life.
Have an LG C1, this thing is amazing.
It will happen, both parties will compromise and meet at $1 per panel price reduction.
What, light in real life goes through multiple filters and finally the difference in an individuals eyes perceive such light.
No, miniLED is only superior in brightness (which helps HDR) and possibly durability, nothing else.
I can't wait until I can buy an OLED iPad! I just got a Samsung tablet with an AMOLED display, and its display is gorgeous. (now if it only ran iPadOS, it would be something!!) The screen can be get brighter than I can stand, so there's no brightness problems.
The fingerprint reader is under the screen too, and there's no notch. It supposedly does faceid too, but that's not something I desire.
The moment Apple puts OLED in the iPad and MB lineup, these miniLED cheerleaders will either abandon Apple hardware or shift to something else to complain about.
Probably the latter.
I can see how a miniLED might be good for an iPhone if doable, brightness outside has always been a problem for me.
With the brightness cranked up on any LCD/LED or OLED the power consumption goes up as well. Apple should focus on the glass and coating to absorb light similar to moth eye technology used with some camera lenses and photovoltaic panels.Probably the latter.

What's stopping Apple from putting an ‘inferior’ display in the iPads?
I rather think that this is a characteristic of the display. I looked it up and there were tons of articles about it when the X was released, including a clarification by Apple on the fact that this is characteristic of OLED screens. It's particularly prominent on bright backgrounds, presumably because those have most the pixels on completely.
Agreed!! The screen is beautiful when in a room full of light, but the moment it’s in a dark room the blooming is terrible. I’m actually surprised Apple released this type of screen. I will wait for an OLED iPad before I upgrade. My 2020 iPad is doing just fine haha.
...unfortunately we will, as this OLED iPad rumor has been coming ando going for the last 3+ years.
We will get old, in the meantime I just bought my 3rd iPad pro last year (a 12.9 5th gen) and I am supersatisfied about it, including the screen
I’m hoping this one doesn’t have the dark border like the 2021 has. I actually returned mine and went back to my 2018 model due to the border. The bloom was a non issue for me btw.
While there is nothing restricting Apple from using BOE OLED on iPad’s, consumers generally keep iPads longer than iPhones. The other issue is that larger the screen the more noticeable or some defect maybe noticeable. LCD/LED have had issues too on the iPad line such as stage light effect, un-uniformed lighting, etc. BOE has failed several of Apple’s quality requirements hence “inferior” is used, then there is the issue of longivity.
Samsung and LG have faced similar issues with LED/LCD and OLED however these are established mass-market display manufacturers while BOE is a new entry in comparison.
