12.9-inch iPad Air won't have Mini LED display after all

24 April 2024
It will go with plain old LCD instead.

Sort by:

Lol, epic fail. Everybody using OLED, and what Apple Air at least 500 dollar device, most likely 600 euro does not even come with OLED or mini led, who will buy this crap? It was exceptable maybe 5 years ago, I still have 2019 iPad Air, and you can see it's screen is alot of to be desired comparing to current OLED ones. Well, now it's obvious I am not getting any iPad Air device any time soon or any iPad Pro crap, enough is enough Apple ☺️

    since i use it at BED,

    i only care for TRUE Black and Lowest Dim.
    can the LCD do it?

      Anonymous, 28 Apr 2024Right? Mini LED sucks anyway. Go OLED or go home!Mini LED allows the display to be brighter. Just take a look at Tab S9 Ultra Vs iPad Pro.

          justasmile, 26 Apr 2024They did, inventing a capacitive touchscreen one.Nope, because the credit goes to Synaptics for inventing the touchscreen and the touchpad, Apple was among the first companies to use it, but not invented it. Maybe a little more of research by your own make a difference between comment the real truth or not.

            Cpt.Power, 27 Apr 2024Vey first phone with touch screen were LG prada. Which was... moreApple invented the prototype for that.

                Anonymous, 25 Apr 2024Lose the bezels and go for AMOLED if LED is not (yet) onstr... moreThe bezels are necessary to some so their grip doesn't accidentally mess with the display, and to also make it so it's impossible to have buttons in hard to reach spots.

                Also, AMOLED is better than LED LCD and Mini LED LCD so I don't see why you would want LED, unless it's micro OLED like LED

                  This was never true or believable. This is Apple, it will probably still have 64GB of base storage as well!

                      Anonymous, 26 Apr 2024LOL. Do you think how many years it will take for Apple to ... moreThey knew about that, but they prioritised form over functionality. So they didn't 'copy'. But now they must've realised it was useful and then decided to add that in. It's just following Android, not completely 'copying'.

                        MasEnha, 25 Apr 20242024 and still using an iPad???Yeah? I mean, iPad has their own useful advantages too. Let people have their own choice?

                              justasmile, 25 Apr 2024Still not, maybe 6 years.You vastly overestimate the ability of Apple to copy others. Usually Apple copies Android manufactures very slowly.

                                  You should be.
                                  Ask yourself-
                                  Don't you love environment like us?
                                  Don't you care for your privacy that is 1.66% better than Android?
                                  Don't you care for our ultimate Apple ecosystem that cripples any 3rd party non-apple services?

                                  We are desperate to serve more consumers. We've made that goal our mission,our dream,our sole purpose for existence.
                                  And to make it happen,we have to sell more & more.Just don't mind the price tho because it's one time investment (untill the next one comes obviously).

                                  Seee???...We're doing so much just for you.contrary to public belief that we're just money hungry l€€ch€s.
                                  So be courageous & rush to nearest Apple store ASAP.

                                        Forget it.
                                        Apple never invented a thing. All they ever and always do and know is copy and paste others and claiming its their own tech.
