12.9-Inch iPad Air No Longer Expected to Feature Mini-LED Display
Wednesday April 24, 2024. 05:37 PM , from MacRumors
Earlier this month, Young said that the larger iPad Air would feature a mini-LED display like the current iPad Pro of the same size. The existing 10.9-inch iPad Air is equipped with a standard LCD panel, and the move to mini-LED technology for the 12.9-inch model would have provided increased brightness for HDR content, deeper blacks, lower power consumption, and more. He said the 12.9-inch iPad Air would use leftover mini-LED display panels from the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, with the 10.9-inch model sticking with LCDs. Now, in a post to subscribers on X (formerly Twitter), he said that this is no longer expected to be the case due to the panel's high cost, despite confirmation from multiple supply chain sources. As a result, both iPad Air models will feature LCD displays, clearly delineating them from the iPad Pro, which is expected to move to OLED. However, Young added that there may be a new iPad model with a 12.9-inch mini-LED display introduced in the fourth quarter of 2024. Speculatively, the device could be a high-end iPad Air, a low-end iPad Pro, or something else entirely. Next-generation iPad Air and iPad Pro models are expected to be announced at Apple's 'Let loose' event on May 7.Related Roundup: iPad Air Tags: Mini-LED, 2024 iPad AirBuyer's Guide: iPad Air (Don't Buy)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "12.9-Inch iPad Air No Longer Expected to Feature Mini-LED Display" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
