Ross Young, a reliable display analyst, said that Apple is planning a number of changes to the iPad lineup in the coming years, including a new 14-inch model and an 11-inch model with anOLED display.
Insights into Apple's future plans for the iPad are provided by the comments made on the latest episode of The Mac Rumors Show. Young doesn't believe that the new iPad will feature mini-LED technology, with the display being the same as the current iPad Air, according to new information. He is looking for more information from suppliers about the device.
Young believes that the 11-inch iPad Pro will stick with its current display technology in the immediate future, with Apple having no plans to upgrade it to a mini-LED display. The company is waiting for the time when the 11-inch and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be released in the same year. Young said that Apple expects the 11-inch iPad Pro to sell more quickly than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
Young thinks that Apple's TrueDepth camera could come to the iPad before the iPhone, with the technology being easier to introduce under a larger display. The implementation is more feasible because the iPad is less popular than the iPhone. He said that the new feature could be available as soon as next year, well ahead of when the technology is expected to be on the iPhone.
Young claims that obtaining a sufficient volume of cover glass has been a key limiting factor in Apple's failure to bring a foldable iPhone to market. Since the company is not expected to face such problems with a larger foldable iPad or MacBook, a bigger Apple foldable device could also come to market before a foldable iPhone.
