Next iPad Mini Won't Feature Mini-LED Display, Claims Display Analyst

[nordique]

Ross young is the guy for displays so would believe him in this case

Kuo’s the guy for supply chain stuff but supply chain can evolve and get pushed back as the news article points out

Makes no sense to do so. Also, I want it to be affordable. I am fine with my Mini5. Just improve the chipset and add faceID and we're good.

It’s not going to get Face ID.

Just a mix up with the word mini in iPad mini it seems. The iPad mini will have leds in it for backlight if the lcd display, right?

It’s much more likely to get the latest iPad air’s Touch ID power button than FaceID, especially at the mini’s price point

MacGUESSES strikes again...

Once upon a time journalists would actually verify their sources, but now they just post every rumor and hope something comes out correct every once in a while. All they are doing is feeding the YouTube guessers....

This site is literally named MacRumors. It’s nice if they’re substantiated but for me, it’s fun to see all of them.

I’m getting tired of all the rumours.. It was fun back in the day, but now there are so many that they contradict each other and cause confusion about if it’s sensible to buy anything unless it’s urgent.

 

[Apple_Robert]

This makes more sense given the normal price of the mini.

 

[joecomo]

I think Apple would keep the mini LED for the Ipad Pro series. very Unlikely that Ipad mini will adopt it. Although the mini LED will not be a feature, it remains as a very anticipating product of the year.

agreed - for smaller display OLED might be the better choice anyways. If this happens than in a high-end pro version, not the "standard" Mini.

 

[ejin222]

Most likely the mini-LED will be saved for the next Mini upgrade…. in 2030 😭

Personally, if it’s just a smaller Air 4 at $499, I’ll be ready to purchase on day one.

 

[HarryWild]

Apple has always crap on the iPad Mini features! Not updating it’s design, give it a 2 year old SoC and most importantly, limiting it RAM to the bare essential. Mini LED for the Mini will come with Mini 9, 3-4 years from now!
The iPad Mini has alway been the black sheep of Apple family of devices!

 

[dampfnudel]

Just give me a smaller iPad Air 4, that’s all I ask for. If it comes with an A15, that’s even better.

 

[_Spinn_]

So will it or won’t it? We have both rumors.

 

[HarryWild]

Let find out if it even will be releases in 2021 first?

 

[Homme]

love how Ross young just shut Digitimes up

of course it won’t have miniLED. Plus miniLED is more complex to fully make it work on a smaller screen, it’s more easier for the tech to work on bigger screens

 

[thingstoponder]

YES!!! It means they won't raise the price!

This just means it won’t get a $200 increase instead of $100. The Air went up $100 when it got the same redesign. I’d expect the same.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Good - keep the price down please

 

[Michael Scrip]

This rumor based on nothing makes much more sense than the opposing rumor based on nothing that we heard yesterday.

something something... broken clock... something something...

 

[HarryWild]

whether it has mini led or not does not interest me in the least.

I used a 12.9” for about 3 hours and it is eye candy on the eyes. It like watching an OLED TV screen vs. LED screen.

MacRumors needs to find better analysts... you know... analysts that will tell me what I want to hear!!!

Not just 'what you want to hear'. But when rumors are 180 degree contradictory there is no value in them.
Then we can literally just say anothing on Day 1 and then retract it on Day 2 "Anything won't happen". Well ok.

Here's my rumors. Please post an article:
- the iPad Mini will be able to act as an inductive stove with new MagCook

can't wait for tomorrow's rumors then:
- the iPad Mini will not be able to act as an inductive stove with new MagCook

 

[One2Grift]

So let me get this right: a rumor person says they will come with LED. Another rumor person says they win't come with LED. The rumor people, the gossips, are actually arguing about what gossip is correct? That's worth at least 4 clicks if not 5.
Oh no...

 

[One2Grift]

MacRumors needs to find better analysts... you know... analysts that will tell me what I want to hear!!!

A precisely correct point expressed in dry sarcasm. That's about as good as it gets.

 

[svish]

I think Ross Young is accurate. So no mini LED for mini. Hopefully 11" Pro gets mini LED

 

[Wokis]

Ok, makes sense it wouldn't get it. I don't care that much over "infinite" contrast, it does make an abysmal day-to-day difference for me on a tablet.

So will it or won’t it? We have both rumors.

Ross young is the display expert so no it won’t
