Phones Canada is excited to share the latest updates on Apple’s iPad Air lineup. Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), recently revealed some interesting insights that have caught the attention of tech enthusiasts:
– Young’s sources indicate that the upcoming iPad Air models will continue to feature LCD panels, as opposed to the previously rumored mini-LED displays.
– The decision to stick with LCD panels is reportedly driven by cost considerations, as producing mini-LED panels can be quite expensive.
While mini-LED and LCD are both display technologies, mini-LED offers certain advantages such as enhanced contrast and deeper blacks. Initially, there was speculation that the new iPad Air could benefit from these improvements with a switch to mini-LED displays. However, it seems that this upgrade may have been put on hold for now.
Looking ahead, Young hinted at a new iPad model with a 12.9-inch mini-LED display potentially launching in late 2024. This development has sparked curiosity among Apple fans, as it remains unclear whether this device will be part of the iPad Air or iPad Pro lineup.
Excitement surrounding the upcoming iPads continues to build, with leaks and reports suggesting significant upgrades in store for consumers. Notable journalist Mark Gurman has also added credibility to these rumors by hinting at an imminent refresh for the iPad Air and the introduction of OLED screens for the Pro models.
Apple is gearing up for an event on May 7 where it is expected to unveil four new iPad models under the theme “Let Loose.” Among these releases are two new iPad Pro models featuring OLED panels and two new iPad Air models. While there were initial speculations about repurposing mini-LED displays from the current-gen 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it appears that plans may have shifted.
As we eagerly await the official announcement from Apple, it’s essential to approach these leaks with caution and stay tuned for further updates. The tech world is abuzz with anticipation as we count down to May 7 when all will be revealed. Stay tuned for more exciting news from Phones Canada!
