New rumors suggest that Apple is considering a switch back to LCD displays for its 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The information comes from Anthony, a tech insider, who tweeted that the decision to move away from Mini LED displays is due to high production costs.
High Costs Push Apple Toward LCD
Anthony’s tweet mentions that Apple finds Mini LED too costly for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. LCD is typically less expensive than Mini LED, so it would make sense for the company to revert back to the older technology if cost is a major factor.
A Step Back from Mini LED
If the rumor holds true, it would mark a departure from Apple’s recent trend of using Mini LED displays in their high-end iPad Pro models. Mini LED offers better contrast and brightness compared to LCD, so switching back could result in a change in display quality for the device.
It remains to be seen what the final decision will be, but the rumor definitely adds another layer of intrigue to what we can expect from Apple’s future iPad Pro models.
