With rumours of miniLED coming to the iPad Pro soon, I took a look at my iPhone XS (OLED) and my current gen iPad Air (LCD) side by side with same brightness settings etc looking at same images on various apps etc, and truth be told I am hardly finding much difference between the two, maybe a few of the colours pop ever so slightly more on the iPhone but that is about it.

With miniLED being a sort of half way house between LCD and OLED, do you think there will really be that much of a noticeable difference, or am I missing something?
 
Beat way to diff the oled from the others ( except micro-led) is on black levels
Oled draw few less battery, the blue pixels fades faster , there is no back bleed or image rest
 
Yeah I understand that when viewing both devices with a black screen the OLED will win hands down, but I just think for the extra $$$ Apple is likely to charge for the mini LED iPad Pro, I just can’t see that huge of a difference in comparison to LCD...

however one thing which I do like about OLED and miniLED is the liquid look that appears when you press too hard on the screen
