Apple has long been rumored to be working on OLED iPad Pro models. Now, a fresh report from South Korea claims that production of the OLED panels for the upcoming iPad Pros has kicked off. Samsung Display and LG Display are expected to manufacture these OLED displays, so here are all the details.

Samsung Display starts production of iPad Pro’s OLED panel this week

The news was shared in a report from TheElec. In our previous report, we talked about how LG Display was expected to kick off OLED iPad Pro display production in February 2024. But the latest report from Korea claims that LG is already manufacturing OLED displays for the next gen Apple iPad Pro. It is reportedly making 13-inch displays (12.9-inch as per previous reports) while the 11-inch OLED panels could be coming to the production line soon as well.

For those unaware, the Cupertino based giant is working on two new iPad Air and two new OLED iPad Pro models in the second quarter of this year. LG isn’t the sole supplier of the OLED panels as Samsung Display is also expected to start OLED production for these iPad Pros later this week. The fresh report adds that LG Display will focus on 13-inch OLED panels, while Samsung Display will primarily make 11-inch variants.

Unfortunately, finer details regarding these iPads like their pricing are still at large. But based on what we know so far, the new iPad Pros will likely be equipped with the Apple M3 processor. This could result in a slight hike in price tag over its predecessor. New accessories may be offered as well, like a new Magic Keyboard and Pencil accessories. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.

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.

Over the last couple of weeks, there have been various rumors and leaks regarding Apple refreshing its iPad lineup. Now, a fresh report has revealed more details regarding the new iPad Air and iPad Pro models from the series. So here are all the details.

New OLED Apple iPad Pro and 12.9 iPad Air

The Cupertino based giant is apparently planning on unveiling a new 12.9-inch iPad Air model as well as the iPad Pro with an OLED display. According to known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the refreshed iPad Air and iPad Pro will be launching next year. The iPad Air is expected to launch sometime in the beginning of the year, while the higher end Pro version could roll out by the second quarter of this year.

Kuo adds that the iPad Air will arrive in a 12.9-inch model alongside the 10.9-inch version for the first time ever. However, it will skip the mini LED display that comes on this iPad Pro-sized display. Notably, the analyst believes that the brand will add the oxide backplane, which improve performance for the smaller variant. The upcoming iPad Pros will reportedly launch in two M3 chip models.

Although, these will drop the mini LED panels in favor of the OLED screens. Kuo states that the Pro models will use the same LTPO backplane as the iPhone 15 Pros. Apart from this, we can assume that the other iPad versions will likely get upgrades across the board and could release sometime in the second half of 2024.

The post Apple iPad refresh may include OLED iPad Pros and 12.9″ iPad Air appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple is currently offering a mini-LED display on the current iPad Pro models. Rumors are rife that the iPad Pro, launching in 2024, will be the company’s first tablet to feature an OLED panel. A new leak suggests that the device will offer the largest storage ever seen on a tablet.

OLED iPad Pro with 4TB storage

The 2022 iPad Pro models come with 2 TB of onboard storage. According to tipster Revegnus, the iPad Pro with an OLED panel arriving next year will have a 4 TB storage version. As always, it is recommended to take the leak with a grain of caution while awaiting further evidence or confirmation.

The 4TB iPad Pro could be ideal for niche professional users with demanding storage needs, including content creators, photographers, architects, data scientists, medical professionals, and so on. It will offer ample space for handling large files, high-resolution videos, complex projects, and extensive datasets. While it may be overkill for the average consumer, it will provide peace of mind and convenience for those who rely on their iPads for resource-intensive tasks and data-heavy projects.

Rumors are rife that the OLED iPad Pro may arrive in 11.1-inch and 13-inch screen size variants. There is a possibility that these models could be equipped with Apple’s M3 chip, which is expected to debut later this year. It is being said that the OLED iPad Pro models may feature a new Magic Keyboard with a larger trackpad.

It is speculated that the 11.1-inch and 13-inch OLED iPad Pro models may start at $1,500 and $1,800, respectively. The current iPad Pro models start at $799. The increase in price could be mainly due to the inclusion of OLED panels.
