Apple is reportedly developing a larger iPad mini with an 8.7-inch OLED screen

[Gearbest News]Apple’s intention to introduce OLED technology into its iPad product line has been the subject of speculation and prediction, and recent reports have confirmed these claims. According to Korean media ETNews, single-layer OLED screens will appear on iPad mini and iPad Air in 2026, and Apple is also developing a larger iPad mini display that will be released on the same date. According to reports, the 8.3-inch LCD screen of the current model will be replaced by an 8.7-inch OLED screen on the next-generation model.

ETNews also hints that iPad models will also gradually transition to OLED – the leaked roadmap even extends to 2027, when Apple is expected to release a 12.9-inch iPad Air equipped with OLED. This update is expected to start in 2024, which is in line with previous Apple planning predictions. ET News says: We should expect new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros with OLED and ProMotion.

Although the rumored date has not been confirmed, this OLED upgrade seems inevitable for Apple. The company switched to Mini LED technology in the last iPad upgrade two years ago, but that wasn't a huge improvement over LCD screens, so a move to OLED is a logical next move given its superior display quality and power efficiency. step.

In addition, 2023 is coming to an end, and Apple has not announced any upgrades to the iPad product line so far, which is the first time since the device was launched in 2010. The company's most recent financial report showed a sharp decline in iPad sales compared with other products. This is why Apple will conduct a major update in 2024. Apple needs the “next big thing” to drive sales, and its long-awaited OLED display could be just that.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman echoed this sentiment in his Power On newsletter, where he also confirmed that Apple will revamp its entire iPad lineup in 2024. Another well-known Apple analyst, Ming Chi-Kuo, supported this statement in a Medium post, predicting that Apple will massively improve the iPad product line. Finally, the ET News report also outlines Apple's plans to introduce OLED panels to the MacBook lineup starting in 2025, “starting with 16-inch models and increasing the number of OLED models to 13-inch, 14-inch, and 15-inch by 2026.”
