Aims for insane image quality
Share onNow we know what the focus will be from Apple when they introduce the iPad Pro OLED in a few weeks.
The 11″ and 13″ models are nailed – will it be a “one more thing”?
Now it is announced that Apple has ordered 8.5 million OLED panels, and the quality requirements will be so high that the two manufacturers, Samsung and LG, are still struggling to maximize production efficiency. In addition to far better image quality (and brightness,) and we expect the always-on function that iPadOS is now able to take advantage of, the thickness of the largest 13″ is cut by over 1 mm.
Apart from thinner boards with better screens, expect both to be outfitted with the M3 chip that was just introduced in the MacBook Air lineup this week. Last year there were several reports of much larger iPads than 12.9″, but instead, the rumors changed to the fact that the frames would instead be shrunk and that the panels would therefore be slightly larger, but that the size of the trays would remain unchanged.
The dimensions leaked last month:
12″ iPad Pro increases from 280.6 mm x 214.9 mm x 6.4 mm to 281.5 mm x 215.5 mm x 5.0 mm
11″ iPad Pro increases from 247.6 mm x 178.5 mm x 5.9 mm to 249.7 mm x 177.5 mm x 5.1 mm
12″ iPad Air: 280.6 mm x 214.9 mm x 6.0 mm
