Samsung and LG Preparing for Next-Generation iPad Pro With OLED Display

iPad Pro is indeed more expensive, but I doubt it is more popular in the whole iPad lineup? 🤔

I think she’s comparing it to just the iPad Mini since that’s what her post references. Apple has said in the past that the base iPad is their most popular. I’d wager the Pro models come in second (for the people who “want the best”) and the Air and Mini are somewhere behind them in terms of sales.
 
Better late than never. But how about put OLED on MacBook Pros as well, so you can have a nice, blooming-free, colour-accurate display for real work like photo and video editing without worrying about being locked up in a symbolic software-based prison?

I feel like this will lead to people returning LG OLED screens until they get a Samsung QD-OLED screen? Isn't QD-OLED better with less chance of burn in and other perks? Or does LG have OLED advancements of their own?

Just because the OLED screen is a Samsung, does not mean it will be a QD-OLED.
Samsung has made AMOLEDS and the iPhone X/XS....14 and more were samsung oleds, and not QD.

I love the image quality of OLED displays, but I worry about pixel dimming (similar to burn-in).

Modern OLEDs can make it 5,000 hours without appreciable changes in brightness (at least based on some OLED TV testing). I'm not particularly concerned with Apple Watches, iPhones and iPads because they're just not "ON" enough, the always-on displays sit at low brightness (high current drives OLED dimming), and because even for things like the clock on the iPhone it would just take ages for the pixels in those changing digits to "dim" (though there may be some common pixels used in most/all digits that might start showing their age).

I'm more concerned about future OLED devices, such as display monitors which can realistically be on 8, 10, 12 hours a day while displaying static content like the menu bar, scroll bars, the dock, etc. Back in the 80's and 90's when CRT screen burn-in was a very significant problem, "screen savers" were invented to help prevent it -- but I still had terrible artifacts burned into the phosphors of my CRTs. But back then people didn't use their monitors as much as they do today (my 3 monitors today don't even have a chance of starting the screen saver unless I go to lunch). Hopefully they can improve the dimming effect before OLED gets to Apple monitors (or maybe they already have).

Agreed. You can see it on display models of iPhones. All of them have some degree of burn in after some time.
 
Am i the only one who doesn't care and won't be rushing to buy any new iPad? OLED or not ...Do people like line up and buy stuff each time Apple releases a new toy? Rhetorical question ...

This could be great as long as the color degradation is not as bad as current iPhone models when set to a low brightness.

color degradation? I have my iPhone on low brightness basically all the time. This is the first time I’ve heard of this, so should I be concerned?

Of course not. Rhetorical answer.

I'm on a 2018 Pro and might be about ready to upgrade by 2024. Depends on what other changes they bring to the table.
 
I knew I was right to hold off on an M series iPad Pro. I have the 12.9 inch one that originally came with Apple Pencil 2 and it runs great, but I kinda want hover for art. OLED would seal the deal for me, I'd drop 2000 AUD or whatever for it.
 
Before this I tried to use my iPad instead of iPhone when possible, since it will reduce eye strain. Years later I might be looking at a studio display when possible.

iPhone and AW with OLED is acceptable, I don’t use it for a long time, no more than 2hrs
But iPad and Mac? It’s nasty to look at a OLED display with Pwm flashing for 6hours a day

Looking forward to this. The light blooming on my 12.9 iPad Pro with mini LED is awful.

But 12.9 Pro Mini LED display is an underrated technical marvel by Apple for us to enjoy HDR photo and video that actually captured what our eye is capable of perceiving the world.
Its max 1600 nits beats the so called 2000 nits of iPhone 14 Pro hand down.

I bought 14 Pro simply because I want 'What I take is what I see' on the claimed world's greatest OLED display when I is taking photo.

I returned it the next day because it is not capable of displaying the shining brightness and subtle shades of HDR photo (taken by iPhone 13 Pro) as been displayed on the iPad Pro. You are actually seeing same scene taken by a HDR cameras and non HDR camera when comparing them side by side.

The second thing I can predict is that, if OLED reached the absolute brightness level of Mini LED, you are going to also see the 'blooming' effect. You know, light radiates and the brighter area will bleeds over surrounding darkness.

The 3rd, how much more power will OLED consumes to emit real 1600 or 2000 nits (not that of the ******** specification of iPhone 14 Pro) with its 3.5 millions of pixels? iPad Pro display has only 10 thousands of Mini LED yet a much larger battery.
 
The MiniLED iPad is unusable in the dark which is where I watch most content. My OLED Tab S8 Ultra has a far superior display with deeper colors. Yes it's less bright but the wider color gamut and better contrast ratio carries the OLED in HDR.
