After Mark Gurman, it's Ming-Chi Kuo's turn to provide his information on the next generation of iPad Pro. The analyst actually mentioned the subject in a new note for investors, published very recently.
He supports the Bloomberg journalist's hypothesis that the high-end iPad Pro, to be released soon, shouldEnjoy mini-LED LCD screen technology. He even sees the longer term by announcing that even if other iPads switch to OLED next year, the iPad Pro could remain with mini-LED for several generations.
Because according to him, an iPad Air could appear in 2022 equipped with an OLED screen panel.
Apple would therefore gradually abandon classic LCD technology (without mini-LED) for its iPads to turn to OLED on the one hand, for entry-level and mid-range devices, and mini-LED LCD on the other. hand, for high-end devices. The reason is financial at this point. Apple could benefit from OLED panels for iPad at a price that is not much higher than that of LCD panels without mini-LED.
On the other hand, mini-LED technology is currently less attractive in terms of manufacturing costs. But in the coming years, with future advances in production techniques, this cost should drop andmini-LED could arrive on other Apple devices. Ming-Chi Kuo has already announced in the past that the Californian firm would work on aMacBook Pro with mini-LED screen.
In any case, see you in April for a probable Apple presentation, which should notably revealnew iPad Proprecisely, as well asAirPods 3and theAirTag object tracker.
