AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) displays are known for their vivid and bright colors, deep blacks, and energy efficiency. However, Apple has yet to incorporate this type of display technology into their iPad lineup, as they have opted for their proprietary Retina Display instead. While the Retina Display has a high pixel density and offers excellent color reproduction, some users may prefer the enhanced color and contrast offered by AMOLED displays. However, it seems that Apple might be onto something here. A recent leak from a tipster has suggested that the company has AMOLED prototypes of the iPad Pro, hinting towards a possible 2024 release.

As per said leak, Apple is reportedly deviating from their standard use of flexible OLED technology on their iPhones, opting instead for rigid OLED screens. Although the latter is used by other high-end smartphones, such as Google’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 lineups, users have reported poor viewing angles. To avoid the ‘wrinkled’ appearance associated with some OLED displays, Apple is rumoured to incorporate hybrid OLED technology on the iPad Pro models. This technology will be mass-produced by Samsung and will consist of two-stack tandem OLED panels that will make the devices more expensive but offer a longer lifespan and better viewing angles.

There is some confusion around ShrimpApplePro’s tweet (since the tweet was originally posted on April Fools Day), but it is clear that the next iPad Pro releases will see a significant price increase of 80% compared to the latest flagship tablets. Additionally, the ongoing global chip shortage has resulted in increased component costs for many electronic devices, including iPads. Apple’s choice of display technology remains to be seen, and we can expect further details to emerge in the coming year.
