According to a new report from Omdia, Apple plans to add OLED displays to iPad Air and iPad mini starting in 2026. The transition to such panels will start with the iPad Pro from 2024. They will still be in full planning to see the market reaction and therefore approve the change in mid-range tablets.

Apple is looking for more OLED suppliers for its iPads

Agreed panels are provided by LG and Samsung. Next year’s iPad Pro will also have this change because it will be one of the most demanded and public-anticipated iPads. If the change represents an increase in sales and/or popularity, there’s no doubt Apple will make a push for the iPad Air and iPad mini soon. The question is; When will this become reality? and above all, remember that the cost to the public will increase.

This is the most balanced iPad of 2023

Cupertinos, on the other hand, want to protect themselves and have enough units to make the transition smoothly. More suppliers are being sought, but they must meet minimum quality requirements to be considered..

2024 iPad Pro will be the biggest update since 2018Besides the OLED display, it will have an M3 chip and a redesigned Magic Keyboard. It’s Apple’s most powerful tablet, and not just because it has an M-series chip, but increasingly efforts are being made to include professional apps with a versatile iPadOS that could persuade more audiences to choose the iPad over another laptop.

iPad will continue to grow in size

Another information in the report is as follows: Entry-level 10.2-inch iPads can be upgraded to 10.9 inches for the eleventh generation. There is no doubt that Apple wants to create a change in the entire segment. After the iPad 10, it has been confirmed that the design line of mini, Air and iPad will be very similar.

Current iPad product catalog

We know that the current iPad has an LCD panel and it is very difficult to take into account the fact that it has OLED. Just like the iPhone SE, the entry-level iPad needs to maintain the essence and power of the design to appeal to those who don’t yet have an iPad or are close to owning a full ecosystem of Apple devices.

If a new iPad comes out, Apple will retire the ninth-generation model. The latest model that maintains the design line with Touch ID with frames and the famous home button. We’ll also see if Apple’s OLED plan on the iPad is attractive, will users be willing to pay a possible increase for this change?
