I could only image what price they would be if they were.
Mmm a 4k 55” oled tv is around the same price
120 refresh rate OLED panel would have had an even higher premium.
Now the increase in the accessories is ridiculous. Seriously they didn’t add much to them. Actually they added zero tech to them. They just put some AirPod tech in the pencil, that’s it. The keyboard has a little more material, but they stopped making the sleeve that no one had interest in. So I guess we’re paying for that.

I might try out the Galaxy Tab S4. Samsung's OLEDs are really nice. Comes with a pen... Hmm.
I was going to grab one of these iPads but a starting price of $799 and having to buy a new pencil is a turnoff.

maybe next fall but my guess is they skip OLED all together next year and in 2020 go for microled.
From what I can tell, OLED will still be too expensive in 12-18 months. mLED is still a ways off and not even shipping in any phones. So the iPad will probably be LCD for at least one, and possibly two more generations of they’re on an 18 month cycle now, or three generations if yearly.
Wait to see an LED screen? Been looking at iPad LED screens for years..

Yea man the screen hasnt changed since 2007.
I think OLED would only increase the price, and I’m not sure Apple even has the necessary OLED manufacturers for the two sizes they would require for 11 inch and 12.9 inch iPad.
That said, others might appreciate OLED, but I’m thinking average consumer really see’s face ID, and of course the reduced bezels with the elimination of the home button.

its an LCD screen. the led's are just the backlight.Wait to see an LED screen? Been looking at iPad LED screens for years..
Are you okay with a 300$ premium for an oled model?
64 gig 11" iPad Pro starting at 1100$...
Don't need it personally, there LCD's have always been the best and I am happy with how the screen looked on my 10.5. I am sure the 11 inch will be even better.
LOL! OLED would have added another $200 to the Pro, if not more. It is all gimme, gimme, gimme but do not charge more!
I have no problems with the LCD screen, they have been very nice.

OLED for the iPhone X was rumored to be over $100 at Apples cost. If they put that on a 13 in screen it would make the iPad like $3000.
but would the rest of the world be? Im sure apple thought about it cost wise and realize people will be spending 700$ more than 1100 starting price. Im sure they know how to price these things so more people buy them...
There is still a huge jump in image quality compared from any lcd to oled especially in tv's. The only tvs that can compete are super expensive full array tv's. The backlight in phones and iPads wont ever get full array style backlights its too thick.
Do they curve the display under to create that edge look with no chin? Apples oleds cost a lot to make and to replace. 300$ to replace an X and 320$ for an xmax. I cant see a screen for an iPad costing under 500$ if it ever broke.
You think thats worth it?
