The world’s first 12.9-inch iPad Air, which could launch this month, is said to feature mini led screen. This is suggested by Ross Young, who is rarely wrong when it comes to predicting the future of Apple products. More precisely, the analyst believes that here the manufacturer will prefer to capitalize on the remaining stock of panels reserved for the iPad Pro M2 of the same size. This is because the devices in question will ditch their current display technology in favor of an OLED system, which is also expected in April. There are only ten days left before the rumor is confirmed; so we think the new devices could hit Apple Stores next Monday or Tuesday. Pre-orders will follow and possible delivery in early May.
As a reminder, mini-LED and OLED provide better contrast than LCD screens.. The key is brighter blacks and more respectful colors to the creators’ wishes. Some Apple devices already take advantage of this. This is the case, for example, with the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, equipped with an OLED diagonal. MacBook Pros may also be eligible for this decision in the near future. According to some rumors, the release date of such laptops is stated for 2027.
What do we know about this upcoming Apple tablet?
The 12.9-inch iPad Air will open this diagonal of the line of the same name. By comparison, the fifth-generation iPad Air currently available has a smaller display, limited to 10.9 inches.
With the advent of mini-LED technology, the new larger iPad Air should also be equipped with the latest generation processor. This will undoubtedly be the M2, which some have already seen in the specifications of some Mac computers. MacBook Pro and MacBook Air have already qualified for this logic card, whose performance was quickly praised by critics upon its release.
Besides the 12.9-inch iPad Air, you should also know that The 10.9-inch version should also be updated. It will likely feature the same processor and, hopefully, the same amount of RAM as the largest model. You should expect a significant price difference between the two collections of devices, given that the panel is by far the most expensive component when Apple sources materials from its subcontractors. Some of them are known to be responsible for controlled displays, such as BOE Electronics, LG Display and Samsung Display.
Possible release date for the new iPad Air and iPad Pro
The 11-inch and 12.9-inch OLED iPad Pro, 12.9-inch mini-LED iPad Air and 10.9-inch sixth-generation iPad Air are expected to go on sale in April, according to the magazine’s reporter. Bloomberg Mark Gurman is often knowledgeable on this subject. Apple has a habit of introducing new devices on Tuesday, it is for this reason that we already imagine that this particular day will allow us to discover the tablets next week. Indeed, next week corresponds to the last day of the month – and Apple very rarely introduces products during this time.
- The 12.9-inch iPad Air should have a mini-LED diagonal
- This technology is already available on the iPad Pro M2s, which is available in stores today.
- This is the same screen that Apple’s subcontractors will be reusing for the new tablet.
