On the Apple front, which has a significant market share in the tablet industry, work continues on the first OLED screen iPad models. Reports from sources close to the company indicate that iPad Pro models with 11.1-inch and 13-inch OLED displays will be introduced in the first quarter of 2024. On the other hand, a new detail that has emerged recently lowers the expectations about the upcoming tablets a little bit. Because, according to the allegations, OLED iPads will not be very accessible in terms of price.
iPad models with OLED screens will be more expensive than expected
Apple, which is currently in the industry with 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad models, is preparing to change both the screen size and the screen technology from 2024. At this point, 11.1-inch and 13-inch OLED iPad Pro models will appear. However, according to the latest report of The Elec, which is known for its leaks in the industry, these tablets will not come cheap.
He started to negotiate with giants such as LG and Samsung for Apple’s iPad models with OLED screens. The panels of the models that are expected to be introduced next year will probably have the signature of these companies. According to the report, this cooperation will cost Apple dearly, and some of these costs will unfortunately be reflected on the end consumer.
The OLED technology that Apple will use in iPad models will have more advanced functions than standard OLEDs. The screens of these models will consist of two emission layers, which will increase the screen brightness up to twice and the screen life up to four times. Apart from that, the report underlines that the cost of standard 10-inch OLED panels is between $100 and $150, while the cost of the screens Apple wants to use on 11.1-inch and 13-inch iPads will be around $270 to $350, respectively.
