Analyst says upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air will pack a mini-LED display

Analyst Ross Young says the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air will sport a mini-LED display akin to that of the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

In a tweet, analyst Ross Young says the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air will sport a mini-LED display akin to that of the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

Currently, the iPad Air is only available in a 10.9-inch version with a LCD panel. The mini-display tech would offer increased brightness for HDR content, deeper blacks, an increased contrast ratio, and more.

Young didn’t say, but I suspect an update of the 10.9-inch MacBook Air will stick with the LED screen. As for upcoming revs of the 12.9-inch and 11-inch iPad Pros, both are expected to get OLED displays. All the iPad updates are expected to debut in early May.
