TrendForce: Apple will ship 4.5-5 million units of the iPad Pro

The TrendForce research group predicts that Apple will ship between 4.5 million and 5 million units of the new iPad Pro, thanks in part to the tandem OLED displays.

“AMOLED screens have long been celebrated for their high contrast and vivid colors,” says TrendForce. “Yet, performance and lifespan issues, especially with larger IT product sizes, have raised concerns about increased power consumption. To address these challenges, efforts have been made to enhance AMOLED’s performance and durability: Firstly, the development of new materials, particularly blue light-emitting materials. Traditionally, blue light-emitting has been limited by low efficiency and stability, which has restricted further advancements in AMOLED applications. With new material developments and the upcoming commercialization of blue phosphorescent materials, there is a significant potential for enhancing overall performance.”

At yesterday’s “Let Loose” event, Apple announced the iPad Pro with a thinner-than-ever design and the power of the new M4 processor.

Available in silver and space black finishes, the new iPad Pro comes in two sizes: 13-inch and 11-inch models. Both sizes feature what Apple says is the world’s most advanced display — a new Ultra Retina XDR display with state-of-the-art tandem OLED technology.

The new iPad Pro is made possible with the new M4 chip, the next generation of Apple silicon, which delivers a huge leap in performance and capabilities. M4 features an entirely new display engine to enable the precision, color, and brightness of the Ultra Retina XDR display.
