MiniLED, MicroLED & OLED: DigiTimes explains contradictory reports
It is now suspected that the model in question belongs to the iPad Pro series. According to Digitimes, Apple is considering using OLED screens for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the 16-inch MacBook Pro in the future. As for the conflicting reports about Apple's interest in MiniLED and MicroLED as well as OLED, Digitimes explains that Apple is interested in all screen technologies and will use different types of screens in different products. But MicroLED could ultimately prevail, although this technology will still need many years to become suitable for mass use. As a reminder: Apple is currently suspected of introducing 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models that use MiniLED technology later this year. In addition, the devices are expected to have a new housing and significantly more ports. Rumor has it that the ports include MagSafe, HDMI and an SD card slot. The devices will be equipped with an in-house ARM chip and will offer a significantly better picture thanks to MiniLED. (Photo by leungchopan / Bigstockphoto)
