Rumor: The first iPad with OLED display will arrive in 2023

If you’ve been following Zummit, you know for a fact that there have been rumors for some time about the development of an iPad model with an organic OLED display. It turns out that the iPad Air 5 is the first product to be equipped with this type of display. Apple Insider has prepared a report based on the DSCC, which can be considered a confirmation of this story.

Contrary to previous rumors, the tech giant is said to be planning to unveil the first OLED iPad in 2023. Apple, meanwhile, has just updated its 12.9-inch iPad Pro with a mini-LED display, and switching to OLED means changing the display technology of these products in less than three years.

Using new display technology, Apple could increase the tablet market value to $ 1 billion by 2024, according to the report. It is believed that OLED tablets will experience 57% annual revenue growth in the year, which is the highest growth in recent years. This suggests that Apple’s addition to the OLED display tablet market is likely to lead to its dominance in this segment of the market.

According to previous reports, Apple plans to launch the 11.9-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro with this display technology in the next perspective, which is in line with recent statements by Ming-Chi Koo about the next iPad Air using OLED display. In addition, it is possible that Apple will use different OLED technology structures for the iPad Air and its successors. The first models are said to use inflexible OLED and thin film encapsulation (TFE), and the more advanced models use the flexible OLED display similar to the iPhone.

Apple has already used the OLED display on the iPhone, Apple Watch and MacBook Pro touch bar called Touch Bar. According to a new report, Apple will release the next generation of smartphones earlier than the iPhone 12 in the third quarter; Thus, the annual revenue of OLED shipments in the fourth quarter is likely to fall by about 4%.
