OLED iPad Rumored to Focus on Lightweight Design and 'Unrivaled' Image Quality

[profets]

There seems to be a weirdly common misconception in which people think apple is working on their new device designs right up until the moment they release. Reminds me of the Series 7 where people think apple "last minute" changed the design as if it wasn't settled 6+ months before it came out. For iPhones they're probably over a year in advance. 2 Years doesn't sound that odd especially considering supply chain issues.

I understand how it works, and know there’s plenty of time between all these steps. Just feels odd we’ve been seeing rumours of an OLED iPad for some time, and now that final prototypes are complete its still 2 years away.

Maybe because those rumors you heard were incorrect.

The 11" iPP's bezels are around 1/8" narrower than the 9.7" iPP's side bezels, hardly a difference which will affect your ability to hold it, especially since they ignore accidental touches at the screen edge. When I had both iPads, I didn't notice any difference in that regard.

1/8" is over 3 mm. That's a HUGE difference, for a bezel size.

Only if you've never experienced actually thick bezels.

It's a tiny difference. If you want to experience thick bezels, go pick up a 30-pin iPad.

Looking forward to this! A lighter iPad will be good, especially for the 12.9”

Sounds like a great upgrade!

And an "Unrivaled" price.

LOL my exact first thought too

Better make sure iCloud is active, or the dog could literally eat your homework.

You know… i really don’t like to think that way of Apple, but it’s becoming harder and harder not to do… they have some insanely innovative and creative products, and those are the people who make the real money for Apple; but itdoesn’t seem those are the ones who are making the final judgment calls on how a product finally goes out the door…

Obvious to me with iPhone case sales because they always just barely change the camera or chassis dimensions so you can't use the same cases again

Finger lickin' good?

Taste the rainbow?

"We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them."

And they need to add scent ports that work with force scratching for digital scratch and sniff
