Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo announced in his latest report that the Apple brand will continue to produce an iPad Pro with a mini-LED screen next year. This 11-inch model could be marketed in the second part of 2022.
Apple had already introduced a wave of change withthe iPad Pro released a few weeks ago, by integrating the M1 chip as well as mini-LED technology into the most premium iPad. But for the moment this new screen technology is not available on the two versions of iPad Pro, only the 12.9-inch version, the larger of the two, is entitled to it. But according to Kuo's analysis, Apple is expected to offer mini-LED to the 11-inch iPad Pro in its next refresh, scheduled for 2022.
Mini-LED or OLED: Apple must make its choice
Big questions are already swirling around mini-LED technology in Cupertino. Barely introduced, this new technique could disappear quite quickly,as we explained to you a few days ago. Indeed, if Apple has chosen mini-LED for its tablets, the competition has not followed this path and has moved towards OLED, a technology which could arrive on the iPad Air in 2022 or 2023 for iPad Pros, according to the latest information from the DSCC, a site specializing in the issue of screens.
Concerning other rumors around this future iPad Pro, a Bloomberg report already announced a few weeks ago that Apple's future tablet would be the first to usea chip engraved in 3 nm, a historic novelty for the Cupertino company which has so far never fallen below 5nm. Apple therefore continues to experiment with new technologies with its tablets, before why not switching them to the brand's flagship model: the iPhone.
Apple's phone could in fact be entitled, in the long term, to mini-LED technology, but also to 3 or 4 nm chips, compared to 5 currently.
