Even if the latest source claims that Apple will switch from mini-LED to OLED technology on future iPad models, such a switch will not occur until 2024. Despite the benefits of flexible OLED panels, it appears that the corporation will instead adopt hybrid OLED screens due to their lower manufacturing cost and higher quality.
LG and Samsung will be responsible for mass-producing hybrid OLED panels for use in the iPad.
Problems with flexible OLED technology include higher manufacturing costs and a “crumpled” appearance, especially in more significant devices. Given that OLED displays could be included in the iPad Pro series when it launches in 2024, the ‘wrinkled’ aspect of the display could turn off many consumers who would otherwise pay more for one of these tablets.
Apple hasn’t even planned for OLED iPads and that will also come by 2024! As of now, we all knew that iPad Pro is gonna get an mini-LED since leaks & rumors were indicating it! Leakers thought that iPhone SE 4 will be an iPhone SE 3 but sadly it turns out to be a same iPhone SE 2

The Elec released a report claiming that Apple planned to adopt hybrid OLED technology in future iPad models. One motivation for this move was the potential reduction in production costs. Although previous sources have mentioned that Samsung and LG are expected to shoulder the job, finding a supplier to mass-produce such panels could be challenging. There was not enough of a financial incentive for Samsung to produce two-stack m OLED panels, thus the company initially declined.
Samsung decided to. Thus with the project because Apple was likely to place a more significant purchase. No one knows for sure if the Korean behemoth demonstrated the same zeal d to mass-build hybrid OLED panels. Even while LG was rumored to be assisting Apple, most orders most likely go to Samsung due to the latter’s superior resources and skills.
Apple’s premium iPad Pro and MacBook Pro models will still employ mini-LED screens for the foreseeable future, but the company eventually plans to transition to hybrid OLED displays. Stay tuned for further updates as we find out what sorts of enhancements come with the updated technology.
