For the upcoming 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, will depend on different OLED display suppliers. Samsung specifically produces 11-inch panels.LG produces a 13 -inch panel.According to The ELEC, Samsung has consolidated its first batch of OLED display as the only supplier of the first batch of OLED display as the 11 -inch model.
LG originally planned to produce 11-inch OLED panels, but the two panel companies currently only produce one OLED display.The initial production of the two suppliers started last month.
Industry insiders believe that the reason for the division of labor is Apples demand prospects for the OLED iPad Pro models, and the unstable production capacity and output of the two suppliers, theyThey are still exploring Apples requirements for new panel technology.According to rumors, Apples goal is to achieve the "unparalleled" image quality and design the thickness and weight of the iPad display screen.
The report said that the situation may change after the first batch of products was put into production.According to reports, Apples shipment forecast this year has fallen from 10 million units in 2024 to 8 million in 2024.
OLED display is the first time in the iPad series products.Apple has been using OLED technology on iPhone and Apple Watch, because the larger OLED screen is higher.Compared with LED or MINI-LED, OLED can bring deeper black and more bright colors.Because of the use of new display technology, the OLED iPad Pro model may be much thinner than the current LED version.For example, a larger 12.9 -inch iPad Pro may be more than 1 mm.
In addition to the new display, the iPad Pro model is expected to use Apples latest M3 chip. The chip debuted for the first time on the new MacBook Pro model last year.M3 chip uses 3 nanometer technology. Compared with the current M2 chip currently used in iPad Pro, there will be significant improvements in graphic processing.
It is expected that the new display will appear on the iPad Pro model in March 2024.
