Contrary to earlier rumors, sources indicated that the upcoming iPad Pro series would be the first from Apple to possess a premium OLED display, expected to be mass-produced around the middle of the next year. However, the latest report from DigiTimes discloses entirely different information.
iPad Pro 2024 to Adopt LCD Display Over OLED or Mini-LEDThe latest leak suggests that Apple is, in fact, reverting to an LCD display for its upcoming iPad Pro 12.9-inch model, similar to its current 11-inch counterpart.
Meanwhile, the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro features a mini-LED display, labeled as 'Liquid Retina XDR' by Apple, while the 11-inch variant utilizes a 'Liquid Retina Display' based on a less advanced LCD panel.
A report indicates that the high production costs associated with using mini-LED displays in the iPad Pro 12.9-inch have become a 'barrier to widespread adoption in the industry.' Apple's return to LCD technology may be driven by the company's focus on expansion and market penetration.
DigiTimes additionally notes that due to component changes, the production of the new iPad 12.9-inch might be delayed, possibly 'as late as the beginning of 2025.' Let's stay tuned for more updates!
