Ross Young of DSCC has reported that the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air will feature MiniLED display technology, which is currently used in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This news is exciting for those looking to purchase a larger iPad Air model.
Young announced that the new iPad Air will use MiniLED technology, which offers lower power consumption compared to edge-lit LCD displays, making it an attractive feature for users. This technology has been incorporated into Apple’s recent iPad Pro models as well as the MacBook Pro. Not only does it save power but also provides an enhanced contrast ratio, especially when viewing videos. LED-backlit LCD panels struggle to produce deep blacks, whereas MiniLED displays offer a more true-to-life viewing experience without the downsides of OLED displays.
Rumors have been circulating that the upcoming 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models may switch to OLED screens this year. Apple has already been using OLED technology in their iPhone and Apple Watch devices, and it seems they are now expanding it to their tablet lineup. The addition of MiniLED technology makes the 12.9-inch iPad Air even more appealing for media consumption, provided that the price remains competitive.
Apple is expected to unveil new iPads in May, so consumers can look forward to seeing the latest innovations from the tech giant. With MiniLED display technology and rumored OLED screens on their upcoming tablets, Apple is sure to continue pushing boundaries and providing top-of-the-line devices for their customers.
