Next month should be iPad month, and Apple is expected to update its tablet lineup after going all of last year without even a minor update.
The 2024 iPad Pro is expected to lead the charge, with new OLED panels, but what about the rest of the lineup?
A report from Macworld sheds some light on this, as the iPad Pro’s switch to OLED has side effects.
The article cites a claim from display analyst Ross Young that the 2024 iPad Air will feature a MiniLED panel in the 12.9-inch version joining the Airline; In other words, the same type of screen found on the current iPad Pro 2022.
In our review of the iPad Air 2022, we found that the tablet “delivered sharp image quality on a relatively small screen.” We wish the screen was a little brighter, but overall it’s pretty good.
A larger miniLED display would put it on par with the current iPad Pro, which offered rich colors and stark contrasts between light and dark elements on the screen.
It would also improve energy consumption. Along with the rumor that the newest iPad Air will also receive the Apple M3 chip, we’re seeing some major improvements in battery life between those two updates, not to mention excellent performance as we’ve seen in MacBook Air testing. 13-inch M3.
We already thought the iPad Air (2022) was the best iPad in the current lineup, and an improved display could help the new version maintain that top spot.
It should be noted that Young did not mention prices in his post. Currently, the iPad Air (2022) starts at $599 for the 64GB model and $749 for the 256GB version. A larger screen could mean an increase in the price of the tablet. We also don’t know if Apple will keep the 10.9-inch version of the Air or simply upgrade the line to the 12.9-inch form factor.
