That is certainly not seen in-person.example. screenshot of the reddit guys video and a photo i just took of my OLED TV (with iPhone 12 Pro Max). i was going to highlight it but it's clear as day. the mini led is glowing up pixels that are meant to be dark. the OLED is only lighting up the bottle itself.
Got a tip for us?

Kuo is always speculating I take any of his BS rumor with a huge grain of salt. What does it matter if OLED screen was used for iPad Air you assumed it’s cheaper to make oled because of iPad Air?I'm sure you know more than supply chain analysts that do this for a living. 😄
DSCC: production costs of miniLED TVs to be higher than OLED TVs | OLED-Info
DSCC published an interesting post that details the production costs of both WOLED and miniLED TV panels. So first of all, it details LG's current costs for producing OLED TVs, as you can see in the chart below. The costs of producing larger 77-inch and 8-3inch panels are significantly larger...www.oled-info.com
When Kuo says iPad Air using OLED is close to current LCD cost, I'm sure he's wrong and you're right. 😄
Kuo: iPad Air to Adopt OLED in 2022, Mini-LED to Remain Exclusive to iPad Pro Models
Apple will transition the iPad Air to OLED displays in the second half of next year, while mini-LED display technology will remain exclusive to...www.macrumors.com
The article was talking about price difference between QD miniled vs oled. iPad model does not have QD. It even points out because miniLed are quite new yield won’t be as good compared to Oled. This supply chain does not even talk about the smaller sizes its just comparing tv size screen. You know for a fact lots of cheap Chinese tv uses miniLed because it’s way cheaper than trying to buy oled from LG. Yeah keep shilling about miniLed like you‘re selling them from back of your van. It’s still a stop gap technology until microled becomes way cheaper.

New video just uploaded showing it is compatible with current magic keyboard.
It disappeared on me the whole day of Saturday. Was back this morning. They sometimes do maintenance that has to do with the order/status page.

All available evidence shows mini LED costs more than OLED. You can keep pretending it's not true.
If they do that, everyone loses. You won’t get an 11” iPad with mini LED any sooner, but those who want a 12.9” one are denied that too. There have actually also been times when the smaller iPad Pro got something first.
Both have its Pros and Cons. MiniLed is great for daytime use but when you watch in complete darkness it’s trash. Here is miniLed TV QN90A vs Oled C1 comparison. You can see grey color in dark scene can barely match oled not even close.
What evidence? You showed one analyst comparing QD miniLed vs OLED for large screen. I’m still waiting for your evidence. Keep shilling…
Oh man. My iPad 12.9 already shipped but my white Magic Keyboard 12.9 hasn’t shipped (still stuck on order in progress). Wonder why it’s taking longer to ship than the iPad.
miniLEDs itself can vary. Some are much more densely packed that others.
Most miniLED ive heard of features just 20000 to 30000 on very large TVs.
Compared to 10000 pressed into just 12.9 inch, this is a huge factor.
“Lucky customer”? Oh, thats the new definition for a customer who overpays for things. Interesting; I live and learn every day.
In that video he says it’s a Magic Keyboard he “just went out and bought”….aren’t all of the now currently available Magic Keyboards the updated 2021 versions anyway (at least they are on the Apple store)? So this would mean he’s testing a brand new 2021 Magic Keyboard with a 2021 iPad Pro no? :-/
Costing more doesn't make something better. Still the mini LED is lighting up an LCD screen so you will get the usual downsides of an LCD screen that OLED has no issues with.
So Apple is silly enough to put a display more expensive than OLED into their top of the line iPad Pro. But it performs worse than OLED? Is that the logic here?
Aren’t people allowed to do with their money as they please?
besides, what’s overpaying : some people spend more money on tech, others on holidays, others on cars,…
It’s all very subjective
Countdown begins for the postings, from a dark closet at full brightness complaining about light bleed on MiniLed. Damaged or irritated eyes, from staring at the display at full brightness from nose distance. Returning multiple times for imperfections, real or imagined. Im not buying this trash until MicroLed comes out, you're all Isheep for buying. Oh and Apple sucks because they don't... fill in the blank. I'll gloss over them because I like cheap entertainment.
Nailed it!
2021 magic keyboard is not available yet, so whatever he bought today must be the current version.
Ah do you have a cost sheet as to what Apple paid for their mini LED screens? And for the record an OLED screen does perform better than any LCD.
I'll defer to supply chain analysts, every one of which says mini LED costs more than OLED.
