Apple is gearing up to unveil its latest generation of iPad lineup next year. The company is expected to unveil a new 12.9-inch iPad Air and the OLED iPad Pros. Reportedly, LG Display will be the one making the screens, with production rumored to kick off early next year.
LG Display to make most of iPad Pro OLED screens
According to a new report, the South Korean tech giant will be manufacturing the OLED panel for the new OLED iPad Pro three months earlier than previously expected. In other words, the iPad Pro OLED displays will reportedly begin production in February 2024. In our previous report, Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the Apple iPad Pro OLED will launch sometime in the second quarter of next year.
The information arrives from a new Korea Herald report. LG Display will be a major supplier of the OLED screens for the 2024 OLED iPad Pro models. The company will be responsible for 60 percent of all OLED panel orders, while the rest will be sourced via Samsung Display. The production will kick off three months ahead of schedule at the brand’s production site in Paju, Gyeonggi Province.
For those unaware, the iPad Pro is moving away from mini LED screens with OLED panels that are similar to the LTPO backplane as the iPhone 15 Pro models. But their larger size for the iPad would mean that they would be more expensive than the iPhones. The new report hints that the price for the iPad Pro OLED displays could be around three times higher.
