Over the years, Apple's iPad Air has become one of the most versatile and powerful tablets on the market. With each new generation, Apple manages to integrate innovations that improve the user experience. One particularly exciting topic is always the display technology, which makes a decisive contribution to the visual quality and the overall experience.
In the world of technology, constant change and improvement is the norm. Apple, a leader in the industry, is often at the center of this dynamic development. Recently, there were interesting rumors regarding the display of the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air, which were reported by Ross Young, CEO and analyst at Display Supply Chain Consultants. divided This information is especially relevant for fans and potential buyers of the iPad Air.
Current developments on the iPad Air
Contrary to earlier expectations, the new 12.9-inch iPad Air will now have an LCD display, similar to the smaller 10.9-inch model. It was originally speculated that Apple might rely on mini-LED technology, which is already used in the iPad Pro and offers numerous advantages, including higher brightness, deeper blacks and improved energy efficiency.
Reasons for the decision against Mini-LED
Ross Young has explained that the decision to avoid Mini-LED was made due to the high cost of this technology. This is important information for anyone hoping for a more technologically advanced display. Despite confirmation from various sources in the supply chain, the iPad Air will reportedly continue to use the tried and tested LCD technology.
Future Perspectives
Interestingly, Young hinted that there may be a new model with a 12.9-inch mini-LED display that will launch towards the end of 2024. It remains to be seen whether this device will be positioned as part of the iPad Air line, a new iPad Pro, or a completely new product category. The announcement of the next generation iPad Air and iPad Pro is highly anticipated at Apple's upcoming "Let loose" event on May 7.
Why Apple is not using mini-LED on the iPad Air
Apple's decision to continue to use an LCD display on the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air shows how complex cost-benefit considerations can influence product development. While some may be disappointed that the mini-LED display will not be a feature of the iPad Air for the time being, the LCD display still offers excellent quality that will satisfy many users. With upcoming announcements and the constant development of technology, Apple remains an exciting player in the high-end tablet space. Fans and technology enthusiasts should therefore keep a close eye on developments so as not to miss any new releases. (Image: Apple)
