Ross Young from DSCC has revealed exciting news for those interested in purchasing a 12.9-inch iPad Air. He mentioned that the new larger iPad Air will utilize the same display technology found in the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro model. This means that the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air will feature a MiniLED display.
The use of MiniLED display technology in recent iPad Pro models and MacBook Pro hardware has been well-received. This technology offers benefits such as power savings and increased contrast ratio, especially when it comes to watching videos. LED-backlit LCD panels struggle to produce true blacks, whereas MiniLED displays are able to achieve this with fewer drawbacks than OLED panels.
Speaking of OLED, it is expected that both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models will make the switch to this technology for the first time this year. Apple has already incorporated OLED screens into its iPhone and Apple Watch devices.
With the 12.9-inch iPad Air expected to offer a great media consumption experience, the device is shaping up to be an attractive option for consumers, particularly if the price is reasonable. Apple is rumored to be releasing new iPads in May, so potential buyers can look forward to more information about these upcoming devices.
