Description:
A report suggests Apple won't equip an iPad with an OLED screen until 2023, and that the iPad Pro won't be first in line.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Every phone in the iPhone 12 range has an OLED screen, as do most premium phones from other brands, but currently no iPad does, with most models stuck with inferior LCD tech, and the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) getting Mini LED. It
does seem like OLED is on the way though but maybe not until 2023.

That year has been put forward in the latest forecast from Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), which also says that the first OLED iPad will have
a 10.9-inch screen. That means it will probably be a new iPad Air, since the current model of that (the iPad Air 4 ) has a screen of that size.

That said, wed take this 2023 claim with a pinch of salt, as recently we
heard from another source that the first OLED iPad would land in 2022 , so
its not clear which information is right. The sources seem to agree however
on the size of the screen, so theres a good chance at least that the first OLED iPad will be an iPad Air, whenever it lands. These are the best iPads Grab some of the best iPad apps Check out the best free iPad apps A significant upgrade

OLED panels can allow for deeper blacks and better contrast than the LCD screen tech Apple is currently using, so it would make for a definite
upgrade.

Its an upgrade on those fronts from Mini LED too, but that can get brighter, and doesnt suffer from burn-in, which is a risk with OLED. So Apple may have decided Mini LED is a better fit for its productivity-focused iPad Pros.

That said, previous reports suggest that OLED will make its way to the iPad Pro range ultimately too, just probably not until after the iPad Air. So the days of LCD and even Mini LED iPads are probably numbered. Take your pick of the best tablets
