mini-LED on the 12.9” only
From iPad Pro 12.9” specs:
- Liquid Retina XDR display
- 12.9-inch (diagonal) mini-LED-backlit Multi-Touch display with IPS technology
- 2D backlighting system with 2596 full-array local dimming zones
- 2732-by-2048-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi)
Mini-LED has never been used in an Ipad before.
Micro-LED is something completely different, and that technology is still years away.
From what I've read it's on par with Apples Pro XDR Display which was like a $6k display. But I don't think it was mini-LED. It had 576 LEDs inside, this new Ipad pro has 10,000.
So this is the first time Apple has used mini LED.

Nothing. Mini-LED backlighting is cutting edge. The amount of displays (TV and otherwise) that use it can be counted both hounds. It isn't OLED good (the Samsung Galaxy Tab OLED screen will still likely be better), but it's 90% of the way there and MUCH brighter with zero burn in.
MicroLED is like OLED in that it isn't a backlight, but direct view. All the plusses of LCDs with LED backlighting and OLED and few if any of the flaws.
