The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is already the best iPad you can buy, with an M2 processor, mini-LED display, and Face ID, but a new report claims the upcoming model will be even better—by far.
We already expect the new iPad Pro to get an OLED screen, which would be Apple’s first tablet with the high-end display tech. We already know the benefits—deeper blacks, better efficiency, and superior color handling—but a report from Ross Young at Display Supply Chain Consultants claims the OLED panels in the next iPad Pro will be the best in the business.
Young writes that the OLED panels used in the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro “are expected to be by far the best OLED tablet panels on the market with LTPO, 120Hz refresh, a tandem stack and glass thinning resulting in ultra-thin and light displays with high brightness, extended battery life and long lifetime.”
While the iPhone uses a single-stack OLED, previous rumors claimed the iPad Pro would adopt a new OLED material from LG called “RDE” that stacks two OLED layers for greater energy efficiency and a longer lifespan. The iPad Pro will also reportedly have a thinner design made possible by the reduction in display thickness.
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the new iPad Pro may also be the first Apple product to get an M4 processor, the first time an M-series chip has debuted in a device other than a Mac. Apple will unveil the new iPad Pro at its Let Loose event on May 7.
