Apple Working on 11.1-Inch and 13-Inch OLED iPad Pro Models for 2024

Imagine how much better browsing MacRumors on the toilet will be with a screen like that. Just wonderful.

Imagine how big the prolapsed hemorrhoids will be then

Hopefully Apple will drop the decimals and just call them the 11" and 13" iPads, instead of 11.1" or 12.9".

Would OLED able to get over 1000 nits?

At the smaller screen sizes of an iPad, it might very well be possible.

I believe the Panasonic LZ2000 OLED TV can get close to 1000 nits in a 10% window using an LG WOLED panel.

Would OLED able to get over 1000 nits?

I love OLED iPad and Macbook Pro but I would like to see they are increasing the brightness to 1000 nits to get perfect HDR. I am sure some people would prefer higher brightness rather ture black effect. OLED may not a upgrade for them.

The iPhone 14 Pro OLED screens do

• 1000 nits max brightness (typical); 1600 nits peak brightness (HDR); 2000 nits peak brightness (outdoor)

Traditional OLED can’t but the tandem OLED displays Apple plans to use both increase brightness to that of the mini-LED screens and have better burn-in protection for longer life. I would bet the new OLED iPads will have the same specs as the MacBook Pro screens with 500 nits SDR, 1000 nits HDR, and 1600 nits max HDR.

You can already see some examples of bright OLED displays. The iPhone’s screen can get to 2000 nits. The Samsung S22 Ultra can attain 1750 nits, and the Apple Watch Ultra can reach 2000 nits. All of those screens are OLED.

Surprised they won’t be coming out in 2023.

The point is we should not have to.

My coworker the other week spent 3 hours being belittled by her family who said she must have deleted it as there’s no possible way a $1000 “computer” wouldn’t include a calculator app.

Fortunately I remembered and showed her Craig’s statement on video to MKBHD 2 years ago where Craig says Apple hasn’t thought of a new flavor of bubblegum (calculator app that’s just wow) and therefore their customers won’t be getting any bubblegum.

All she needed was to install the free Numbers app from Apple to have a supercharged calculator app. 😉

IPad Pro updates came out this fall so next likely update would be spring 2024 (typical 1.5 year update cycle)

Cool cool, she could also contract a 60ft semi to transport a couple cartons of eggs . Also that would require someone new-ish to iPad to know the Numbers app exists and how to work with spreadsheets

I would also like to point out that while the iPad still lacks a calculator app after 11+ years the flipping watch got it in 2019 with watchOS 6 only 4 years after the product line's introduction.

No doubt will upgrade my 12.9 for the oled 13 inch I think
