Rumor has it that the iPad Pro will be updated in the spring. A new display technology and more are expected. Now a leaker has spoken out.
Various rumors suggest a major update to the iPad Pro. Among other things, the display will be changed to mini-LED technology. Now the well-known and usually accurate leaker Jon Prosser has also spoken out. When asked when a new iPad Pro will be released, replied "March." This statement is consistent with various predictions from other sources. They claim that Apple plans to introduce a new iPad Pro early this year – in the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, a virtual keynote could indeed take place in March. Alternatively, an announcement via press release would of course also be possible. No source has yet elaborated on the format of the presentation. Just yesterday, DigiTimes claimed that Apple is preparing to launch a new iPad Pro with mini-LED technology. The device is scheduled to be released in the spring. The report:
iPad Pro: MiniLEDs are more efficient and reliable
Apple is expected to launch the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with miniLED backlighting, possibly in the first quarter of 2021, and Samsung Electronics will also unveil its LCD TVs with miniLED backlighting in the first quarter, which will boost demand for miniLED backlighting, industry sources said.
Since so far there has only been talk of a 12.9-inch model, it remains to be seen whether Apple will also update the 11-inch version. However, this is not out of the question, as the company has always updated both models in the past. The switch to miniLED displays is said to enable thinner and lighter product designs. In addition, the new screen technology has the same advantages as OLEDs, with even better values. Apart from that, miniLEDs are more reliable because they cannot burn in. In addition to a new display panel, the A14X chip and 5G support are also to be integrated. Further details are not yet known. (Photo by Colour59 / Bigstockphoto)
