The 12.9-inch iPad Pro has inaugurated a new screen technology, the mini-LED, which brings to the LCD panel of the tablet the advantages of OLED (better contrast, greater brightness) without the drawbacks – in this case, support for ProMotion, dynamic refresh of the frame rate. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7 + OLED screen is capable of spinning at 120Hz, but it’s up to you in the settings; on the iPad Pro, it is the system that manages according to the content.
Despite everything, Apple is not losing interest in OLED for its range of tablets. ETNews indicated that the manufacturer could launch one or more models of iPad equipped with an OLED screen in the course of next year. The Korean site does not specify which devices, however, but Ming-Chi Kuo had mentioned an iPad Air OLED in 2022, the mini-LED (more expensive) to remain the prerogative of the Pro versions. Just like ProMotion, if we understand correctly.
On the level of ProMotion in OLED screens, things could evolve if some adventure Apple manages to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together, between the development of a screen controller and LPTO technology. The OLED screen of the iPhone 13 should thus run up to 120 Hz. But on entry / mid-range tablets (Kuo also spoke of an OLED panel on the entry-level iPad), we feel that Apple could for the moment leave only the iPad Pro the benefit of ProMotion.
