If you’ve been hankering for an iPad with an OLED display, it might be in the later stages of development and en route for two years from now.
Apple is apparently producing final prototypes of iPads with OLED displays, with the device focusing on a lightweight design and improved image quality.
The prototypes are rumored to be in production with Korean display partners Samsung and LG Display, and are undergoing a series of tests at the moment. Apple is thought to be focusing on giving the OLED iPad a lighter design and “unrivaled image quality,” partly facilitated by a dry etching process that significantly reduces the weight of the display. The company is also believed to be developing a special coating to increase the display’s durability, necessitated by how thin it is.
The first OLED iPad models are expected to include an 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the devices are widely rumored to launch in 2024.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
