Yeah the more I think about it, the more I believe they do one major iPad Pro update next year which will probably include A14X (M1) and new display tech. I think the problem is what can improve upon other than display tech and processor over the 2020 iPad Pro? It’s a future looking design, has LiDAR, cameras etc already. What can they do to improve the Apple Pencil 2 either?
Yea because no one uses android tablets 2 weeks after they buy them, they realized they made a mistake and get a iPad, or they just don’t use them
This 2020 update is an "extended-life" update though. Just like iPad 3 and 4, only 6 months apart.
I genuinely feel bad for people that suffer from this, and in no way am I trying to trivialize it for those who do suffer from PWM, but there simply can’t be that many people as almost every smartphone available is OLED now. I have thankfully never suffered from PWM with my 11 Pro and don’t know anyone who does suffer from PWM, and almost everyone I know has an iPhone X or newer iPhone with an OLED, or flagship android phone.Not looking forward to screen flicker, PWM and eye strain
Will not buy another iPad for a long time then.
My iPhone X that was given to me by my employer has been sitting in a drawer for the last three years because of this. Still using my iPhone 8.
I’ll take black crush over pukey gray blacks and backlight bleed any day of the week.
Yes they do. I stand corrected.
people choosing iPads over Samsung tablets is certainly not down to display issues...
The Korean Website Elec Today is a known Samsung mouth piece that spreads false information in hope of diminishing Apples sales. So now everyone will hold off buying a new iPad Pro.
Korean website The Elec today claimed that Apple plans to release at least one iPad Pro model with a Mini-LED display in the first half of 2021, as has been widely rumored for many months, but the report added an interesting new twist.
Following the release of the first iPad Pro model with Mini-LED backlighting in the first half of 2021, The Elec claims that Apple plans to release new iPad Pro models featuring OLED displays in the second half of the year. Samsung and LG are already in the process of developing the OLED displays for the iPad Pro, according to the report.
Many of the rumors to date have claimed that Mini-LED backlighting may be limited to a new high-end 12.9-inch iPad Pro launching around March, so it is possible that the rest of the iPad Pro lineup will continue to use traditional LCDs until they are upgraded with OLED displays later in the year, but the roadmap is unclear at this point.
Mini-LED and OLED displays share many of the same benefits over traditional LCDs, including higher brightness, improved contrast ratio, and increased power efficiency. Apple already uses OLED technology for most recent iPhones and the Apple Watch.
Apple last refreshed the iPad Pro in March 2020, but it was a relatively minor update, with new features including an A12Z Bionic chip that is essentially an A12X chip with an extra GPU core enabled, an Ultra Wide camera, a LiDAR Scanner for enhanced augmented reality, and better sounding microphones. It was the first update to the iPad Pro since the device received a major redesign in October 2018.
Update: Noted display analyst Ross Young has disputed the claim with a simple "Nope."

I have a 2019 Sony OLED, and my daughter left our HiMedia box on with a Kodi file list on the screen before we left for the weekend. No Burn-in, I’ve been told most 120hz native grade A and above OLED panels are essentially burn-in resistant for about 50,000-60,000 hours(which to me is essentially device lifespan). OLED does have issues Beyond burn-in though. Panels are usually: physically bent, dented, or wavy(non-noticeable with active signal; requirement for grade A); Algorithm corrected panel imperfections(imperfections visible in the OLED when a signal is not active; usually more visible in grade B stock); and less than 2% of OLED panels currently manufactured hit the required 1000nit Full HDR requirement(aguably 1000nit in a dark environment is too bright for my eyes[I have a 4K Sony Projector that hits that mark]; it causes me physical pain).
