iPad Pro Could Adopt OLED Display With ProMotion Down to 10Hz in 2023 or 2024

Awesome, my new iPad Air should easily buy me time until the OLED iPads are released!

For perspective, Samsung released their first tablet with OLED display in 2011 (yes, 10 years ago) - Galaxy Tab 7.7. I had it and still have very fond memories of it.

This is fake news. I highly doubt that Apple will put OLED into anything high-end. They only get 20-30% as bright as needed for a good HDR experience.

This is what they should’ve released instead of the mini-LED tech in the first place. Sigh, I doubt my 2017 iPad Pro can hang on until 2023-2024.

OLED is inferior to mini-LED tech. It's too dim so the "HDR" is terrible and the burn-in is bad.

The Mini-LED Is the Future of Big Displays

The reigning OLED technology will survive only in small displays

Oh ok so now they suddenly think “hmm, OLED is still pretty darn good so let’s bring OLED to iPad Pro instead of iPad Air”. Wow… mind blowing achievements.

I know miniLED is supposed to be transitional technology but somehow miniLED is no longer good enough? Or apple managed to secure a few OLED suppliers that is not Samsung?

OLED isn't pretty darn good though, which is why Apple has firmly rejected it in anything high end so far. I don't see that changing. This article isn't very reliable.

So, apple invest billions into mini led for the iPad Pro, release the iPad Pro with constrained supply then turn around in a years time and say, actually, no, we will use OLED. Something smells fishy to me. I would imagine they would be pushing for Micro-LED before the go to OLED…

Mini LED is LCD tech. It doesn’t cost “billions” to implement that garbage tech.

Mini-LED with FALD is the most advanced display tech available right now, and makes dim OLED look how it performs in HDR (which is garbage).

Most of the delay happens not in display, but in software. Anyone using GoodNotes would know. Computing vector graphics in realtime, etc.

Quite possible within the time frame. Maybe Pro iPads with OLED and Air with mini LED once Pro gets OLED. But before that the 11” should get mini LED during the next refresh of iPad Pro.

Garbage? Pa! And yes it does. If it doesn’t cost a lot then their wouldn’t be production issues. If apple have issues producing it then it must be a complex process. It also requires an algorithm to control the dimming something you don’t need for conventional LCD, that in itself makes more complex. I ****ing love my mini LED. The HDR is better than my brothers Panasonic OLED which is fairly top range. It just can’t get bright enough. Each display tech have their advantages and disadvantages but to call mini led garbage when it just isn’t is plain wrong

Someone at Apple is dragging a red herrings across a hunting path to confuse the hunting dogs/rumor sniffers.
