In an exciting development for Apple enthusiasts, new reports indicate that the company is gearing up to release an iPad Air featuring an OLED display in 2027. This marks a significant upgrade for the iPad Air series, which has primarily relied on LCD technology until now.
According to a recent report, Samsung Display will be the key supplier of OLED panels for the upcoming iPad Air models. Industry insiders have revealed that Samsung plans to commence mass production of these OLED panels later this year or by early January 2027.
The next-generation iPad Air is expected to incorporate a high-quality LTPS OLED panel. Apple may introduce this device in March next year, consistent with its pattern of unveiling new products during this timeframe, as seen with the current M4-powered iPad Air.
Currently, OLED displays are exclusive to the iPad Pro series, while rumors suggest that the iPad mini could also adopt OLED technology later this year. Moreover, Apple is rumored to plan OLED panels for the MacBook Air, which may launch in 2028.
For reference, the latest release of the iPad Air, which debuted in March, utilizes an LCD display.
