DigiTimes: Apple to Launch 12.9-Inch iPad Pro and MacBooks With Mini-LED Displays by End of 2020

OLED still suffers from screen burn in for stationary images.
I was wondering if the mini LED actually is better than OLED ... it has this long list of what it's good at, but it doesn't actually say it's better, visually. If it's about the same, but has other manufacturing or battery life or size advantages, sure, that's fine, but it isn't a reason to upgrade a personal system.
I still don’t understand the logic of bringing this tech to the 12.9” iPad Pro but not the 11”. It’s the same damn product but in a different size.
I am sticking with the previously announced rumor of March 31 announcement and April 3 ship date as a fact until it is announced otherwise!
With the design, features (FaceID, USB-C, and new Apple Pencil), and power of the A12X, anything less than Mini-LED and A14X seems like a very minimal upgrade. Judging by the cost of the iPad Pros now, I can imagine if they in fact go Mini-LED, that will drive the cost up higher. I am happy I just bought my 2018 12.9”. There’s simply nothing available I use that taxes this thing now or in the next few years.
Nice hyperbole.

Micro LED is not coming anytime soon.

It’s indeed a very strong machine. Would like more RAM, though.
You are mixing up Mini LED with Micro LED.
Mini LED is an improved LED. It's regular LED with really tiny local dimming zones, allowing for deeper blacks. It will look better than the iPhone 11, worse than the iPhone 11 Pro, in terms of color and blacks.
Micro LED is a whole new technology where each LED is a tiny light emitting source. It's an OLED killer. All of the upsides, none of the downsides. Brighter, lower power draw, easily bezel-less, thinner display layer.
I'm really excited for MicroLED. Mini LED is cool but a bit of a shrug.
I'm not mixing them up. The obviously visible pixels, PWM dimming, and burn in probability (my 6+ screen has been turned on continuously for four years) make all current iPhones except 8+ garbage in the screen department.
I'm probably going to just end up with an 8+ and use that for a few years, maybe microLED will be on the market by then.

I have a similar question. I use my iPad mainly for hand written note taking with Notability. Will a Mini LED make a noticeable difference for this purpose?
How old are you ooc?

Are we going to see Apple use intel cpus for their MacBook Pro 16” after the news stormed about an unfixable flaw within Intel CPUs. Intel really sucks right now...
People are dumping on DigiTimes, perhaps with justification, but the lede by MacRumors was a whopper!
”Apple plans to launch a 12.9-inch iPad Pro and multiple notebook models with Mini-LED backlit displays by the end of 2020, according to industry sources cited by Taiwanese publication DigiTimes.
This lines up with information shared earlier this week by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said Apple is developing six products with Mini-LED displays for release by the end of 2021”
Well, the products may line up, but the dates sure don't!
In fact, even the product information isn't quite right!
“DigiTimes claims that Apple will also adopt Mini-LED backlighting for "a few models of LCD monitors," but it is unclear if that refers to the iMac/iMac Pro or standalone displays.”
