Samsung Prioritizing Development of OLED Displays for Rumored 2024 iPad Pro

[MacRumors]

Samsung is prioritizing the development of OLED displays that Apple plans to use in upcoming iPad models, according to a report today by The Elec.

According to the report, Samsung has prioritized the development of a particular display type that uses two-stack tandem OLED panels, which is what Apple plans to use in future iPad and Mac models. Prioritization of this display type means the South Korean tech giant will focus less on developing full-cut OLED displays, which use just a single OLED layer, according to The Elec.

Samsung is Apple's main display supplier and has been supplying the company with OLED displays for high-end iPhone models since 2017. Other products, like the iPhone SE, Mac, and iPad, still use LCD displays and mini-LED technology on select products.

Apple is expected to release the first OLED iPad Pro in 2024 in 11-inch and 12.9-inch sizes, according to the reliable display analyst Ross Young. Also in 2024, Apple is also rumored to bring OLED display technology to the Mac with a 13-inch MacBook Air.

Should be prioritizing iPad OS more than anything else related to iPad.

All I can say is I’ll wait for Independent Reviews from actual reviewers NOT a 30 second unboxing by influencers like iJustine or MKBHD.
And we will need 100% confirmation these are 10-bit Panels because Apple has been selling us 8-bit panels now for years.

Didn't realize Samsung was also developing iPadOS.

That would explain a few things

OLED should be a great improvement over miniLED. Blooming is the biggest compaint I have with my miniLED iPad Pro.

That’s not really for Samsung to do though, is it? 🤷‍♂️

Bruh we don’t even know if 2024 is coming every time we get our hopes up the billionaires gone mad in the world keep saying nah.

 

[Leon Ze Professional]

My gut feeling is telling me these two stacked oled panels will be used exclusively on Apple devices currently stuck on LCD panels.

Mini Led panels will remain being produced on the 12.9 inch iPad and 14 and 16 inch Macbook Pro models.

Yes, but only IF they can keep the current brightness levels. Some of the major downsides for me anyways of Samsung‘s otherwise great tablets is : the lower brightness levels and the inferior anti-reflective coating.

Those two along with my personal preference of the iPad Pro aspect ratio is why I prefer that over the Samsung options

The blooming is only an issue in very dark environments, otherwise you don’t notice it at all.

 

[ToxicBlue]

Yep, seems like I going to keep my 2018 Ipro for other 2 years, looks like 2024 is the year to buy iPad again.

Was going to get a 2022 iPad Pro literally this week but I think I will hold off little longer

2024 is not exactly soon : If you need now I would advise to buy now.

I'm sure hardware and software are handled by two different teams, so Apple can handle both at the same time. Also, it said that Samsung is prioritizing development of the new screen.

It’s not a need more a want I can save for the 2024 one which would be the smarter idea too ;-)

 

[coffeemilktea]

Better displays would be awesome; now I can view pixelated cat memes in style.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

OLED or not I’m just ready for a 16” iPad Pro next year.

 

[darngooddesign]

Nothing can stop 2024 from coming.

 

[trhoffmann]

A 15“/16” iPad Pro would be an immediate purchase for me.

 

[PauloSera]

Lmao. Nonsense. In terms of what I actually want out of an iPad...OLED is the top of the list. Not more pseudo Mac changes for iPad. I like iPad as an iPad.

 

[Alex Cai]

Tim, stop what ur doing
Oled is not a good idea for iPad, except they make sth that protects the eye from pwm and can avoid migraine headaches

Am I the only person here who “detests “ oled?

 

[james2538]

Excited for this. Haven’t seen any reason to upgrade my current iPad since it’s already overpowered for what I need and Apple backported Stage Manager.

My OLED TV is one of my favorite purchases I’ve ever made. Made a bigger difference than HDR and 4K combined.

Ok, so you didn't read the article. But you didn't even read the headline? "Samsung is prioritizing..." Your comment doesn't even make sense.

 

[anthogag]

16" iPad Pro with OLED screen 🙏

 

[The Cappy]

Bruh we don’t even know if 2024 is coming every time we get our hopes up the billionaires gone mad in the world keep saying nah.

So you're saying the world has ended so many times, we shouldn't get our hopes up? Except no, even by the current tally, your logic has been wrong 2022 times. You might want to reconsider which echo chamber you're staying in. And if the world ends, it won't be the billionaires to blame. None of them have control of the means to end it. But the last person you voted for might.
