He wanted to say the mini led is just trying to emulate what OLED can do, why not just use OLED instead.
Mini led offer thousands of dimming zone vs. the typical LCD right now but it can't beat the per pixel lighting of OLED display.
Mini led is still inferior compared to OLED when it comes to picture quality.
Apple should just go for micro led instead but that will be super expensive.

      When I7, i9, i10 with twin 3080ti level gpu, level chip set coming out on desktop, instead of M1?

      We can wait for Apple, or buy something else. This switch 30 years late. Thanks Steve.

              It is backlit like LCD.
              But LEDs are smaller and more light efficient.
              Smaller LEDs= harder to deal with = more expensive

                    i wanted the mini when it was due to get a long overdue design refresh, and a slightly bigger screen size, 8.4" would have been great, but that archaic design is so long out dated is not even funny, i will wait and see what comes of it, but if the existing design remains then forget that

                      I was expecting the new Ipad mini would use Ipad pro's design in the next gen. I need 8" powerful tablet for my daily gaming. Its hard to find 8" flagship grade tablet nowadays.

                        beep bop boop, 12 Apr 2021but isn't mini-LED the closest thing to OLED, why cant... moreApple Always wants to diversify their supplier options

                        MINILED development can take market share from OLED

                        And offer higher profit margins in the long run seeing that not much overall is needed in manufacturing plant or research and development if They already have LCD infrastructure in place

                          MiiniLED is still LCD, looks like GSMArena isn't aware of that.

                            jamalu96, 12 Apr 2021Because Apple needs time to perfect it. Just look at the iP... moreso you hate apple because the iPhone has a 60hz display, jesus ur so naïve
