So far, there have been two Apple rumormongers that claimed there will be a completely portless iPhone at some point in the not too distant future, and now a third one, Jon Prosser, is adding more water in his ‘Look, Ma, no ports!’ rumor mill.
The iPad Pro 2021 is going OLED thanks to Samsung and LG Display
Both Samsung at its A4 plant, and LG at its E5 factory, are reportedly hard at work producing samples for the evential iPad Pro tablets with OLED displays, tip the insiders, trying to master the so-called “tandem” production structure. It apparently lets two or even three RGB emitting layers to be stacked, thus prolonging the life of the emitting material (especially blue) compared to the current one-layer depositions to prevent any whiff of burn in after extended usage.
One might wonder why isn’t Samsung a near-exclusive OLED display supplier for the iPad Pro 2021 as it is for Apple’s iPhones, but it turns out that LG has been using the tandem emitting layers method for a while in the OLED panels it crafts for many major car makers, and has some experience, too. A car is something that will be used for quite a bit longer than a consumer electronics device, so an infotainment display there has to meet and exceed those prolonged usage scenarios.
А 120Hz or even 240Hz iPad Pro OLED display would be a match made in heaven, so we can’t wait to see whether it will be Apple’s miniLED or OLED panels efforts that will pan out first in 2021. What do you think?
