Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, July 8, the current Apple iPad Pro uses the Liquid XDR display and will use the OLED panel for the first time in 2024.

According to the latest Omdia research report, Apple suppliers will begin mass production of a new generation of 11.1 and 13-inch iPad Pro models (11 inches and 12.9 inches in cash) in the first quarter of 2024, which will be equipped with OLED displays.

In addition, Omdia expects the first MacBook Pro with an OLED display to be released in 2027.

Compared with the existing LCD models, the OLED screen has the characteristic of self-luminous, eliminating the backlight module and color filter, which can theoretically reduce the thickness of iPad Pro and perform better in terms of power consumption, so the new machine will bring higher display brightness, higher contrast, more accurate color and lower power consumption.

Apple already uses OLED displays in product lines such as iPhone and Apple Watch (except for the lower-end iPhone SE).

In fact, iPad Pro models released in 2017 and later already support ProMotion technology, which can achieve a variable refresh rate between 24Hz and 120Hz, and switching to OLED may further reduce the refresh rate to 10Hz and lead to longer battery life. (CTOnews.com Note: iPhone 14 Pro can achieve the lowest refresh rate of 1Hz).

According to the Omdia research report, Apple will use a very thin hybrid OLED display (a combination of flexible and rigid materials), which may make the iPad Pro thinner.

According to Display Supply Chain Consultants's Ross Young, these panels are expensive to make, so the next generation of iPad Pro may also be more expensive.

The current iPad Pro, released in October 2022, features a M2 chip, faster Wi-Fi 6e and Bluetooth 5.3 connections, and the hover function of the second-generation Apple Pencil, little change compared to the iPad Pro with M1 chip. Given that the iPad Pro update interval is usually about a year and a half, it makes sense to launch the next-generation model in early 2024.
