Apple Reportedly Planning to Bring OLED to iPad Mini and iPad Air

PLEASE: OLED + Promotion + FaceID

Is that really asking too much?

I guess at least there's some more smoke around these rumours. Maybe a late 2023 spec bump for Air/mini and then next big update 2 years from that?

Maybe iPhone 18 super pro will have an 8” screen. 😉
 
I love Apple but I can't see why it has to be so late on everything...OLEDS on 600$ tablets in 2026?
Same thing with regular iPhones...I think having 60hz on the regular iPhone 16 will be a scandal...I'd expect at least 90Hz

Has it been addressed, though? I was looking through r/iPhone yesterday and saw multiple threads of people complaining of burn-in on iPhone 15 models already even though they’ve only been around a few weeks. Didn’t look much at the details but it may be related to a specific display manufacturer (I guess Apple uses LG and Samsung?). Not saying it’s a widespread issue but seeing the posted images was a bit concerning.

Something that soon sure sounds dubious. Like it was intentional - set brightness to max, leave it on a fixed image, sleep turned off, heating up the display. Just looking at what Rtings puts their tvs thru and the sheer amount of time it takes to cause the image retention - 14 weeks on CNN at max brightness for 20 hours a day before signs of permanent retention showed.

People are raising the concern about burn-in, but how is that addressed with the iPhone, especially with its fixed UI elements in the top row? Is there reason to believe iPads would be more susceptible based on usage patterns?

I always wondered this...
So much worry about using OLED tvs as monitors, but phones often have the same interface elements on; same thing with other tablets (like Samsungs).
These days we also started seeing some OLED gaming monitors...
I'd assume the burn-in problem has bneen somewhat mitigated...

True enough about the Rtings tests, but that assumes the panels don’t have some sort of manufacturing defect. Some of the pictures I saw sure looked like burn-in.

Absolutely true - I’m just skeptical that they didn’t set out to achieve a goal, and reached it.

People are conflating burn-in with image retention.

Some may indeed be, but what the posted images show is pretty severe. And how long should simple image retention hang around? As I said before, I don’t think this is necessarily a widespread problem but it’s clear some units have a display problem.

It can be a problem even on LCDs - the first 2012 Retina MBPs were kinda infamous for this.

Actually, IIRC, those were LG panels as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see the affected iPhones also being LG panels.

sorry to hear that - my seven year old and surely in excess of 10,000 hour running LG has not a single pixel defekt of burn in defekt - regularly every year tested and in case visitors claim that burn in is a an inherent problem of OLED.

Same. 4 years though. LG
I hope I didn’t just jinx it. 😬
