iPad mini, iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro are the tablets offered by Apple and the Pro one, as you could guess from its name, has the best specs. Mini-LED technology was allegedly going to be featured in the 2024 12.9-inch iPad Air, however it appears Apple has decided against offering mini-LED screens in the iPad Air.
Apple abandons the mini-LED display for 2024 iPad Air
Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) and a well-known analyst in the display industry, had previously stated that the 2024 iPad Air might come with a mini-LED panel. However, he now explains that his new sources reveal the iPad Air will come with an LCD panel instead, due to the high costs of manufacturing mini-LED panels.
Ross Young also mentioned that Apple will introduce a brand new iPad model with a mini-LED display in the fourth quarter of 2024. The exact model is yet to be determined; it could possibly be a low-end iPad Pro or an entirely new iPad lineup. It’s already known that Apple is working on a new iPad Air, but the complete technical specs are not available yet.
Mini-LED display technology is slowly being adopted in some devices, offering richer contrast and truly black areas compared to LCD panels, but not exactly same as OLED displays. mini-LEDs can achieve better colors by illuminating the display with much smaller LEDs. Apple first used mini-LED panels in the 2021 iPad Pro, and it seems they will continue to avoid using mini-LEDs in iPads Air due to their costliness.
