Sources say that Apple's iPad business focuses on the transition to OLED, and the folding screen is not included in the plan.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Snailwang, West window for the delivery of clues about the past! CTOnews.com, December 15, according to Nikkei Asia, Apple's current focus on the development of the iPad product line is mainly on the transition to OLED, followed by foldable products.

To boost declining iPad sales, Apple plans to make a major update to its iPad product line in early 2024, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman reported. Apple plans to launch new iPad Air and iPad Pro, both of which will change significantly.

Apple's 2024 iPad Pro model will have an OLED display for the first time in the iPad series. Apple has been using OLED technology on the iPhone and Apple Watch, but larger OLED screens are more expensive. Compared with LED or mini-LED, OLED can bring darker black and brighter colors. The OLED display will be exclusive to the iPad Pro model, and the iPad Air will continue to use the standard display.

It is reported that Apple does not have a specific timetable for the launch of a collapsible iPad, nor is it the current focus of the company's development.

However, the report stressed that Apple will introduce a collapsible iPad before it launches a collapsible iPhone.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Samsung has shown that it has been restructured to improve the operational efficiency of collapsible panel development to better meet Apple's needs.

At the same time, LG shows that Zheng Zhedong, the new chief executive, has also restructured and set up a new strategic customer (SC) department. The SC division will be separated from the existing small and medium-sized business units and will be responsible for Apple's business.

Samsung Display and LG Display are reportedly already working on Apple's collapsible product projects, including 20.25-inch panels. It is not clear whether the panel size is related to a particular product or panel production process.
