Mini-LED Displays

Apple has been working on Mini-LED display technology for at least a couple of years now, and early last year reliable analysts suggested that it was planning to release at least six new products that would incorporate the technology, mostly made up of Macs and iPads.

While Apple’s iPhones have gone all-in on OLED now, Mini-LED offers a better compromise for larger screens, since they provide many of the same benefits of OLED at a much lower cost, especially at scale. Most reports point to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro gaining the new technology first, followed by redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops. The 11-inch iPad Pro, on the other hand, might just stick with the Liquid Retina LCD, at least until Apple’s ready to take the iPads into OLED territory.
