The future of the screens of any technological product lies in the mini-LEDs. There are many rumors that point to future Apple devices that will be released with this revolutionary technology on their screens. Today, new information has become known that indicates specific time frames for these announcements. In this article we tell you everything that is known about it.
IPad Pro and Mac range will include mini-LEDs
As the DigiTimes publication pointed out today, the manufacturer Osram Opto is expected to supply mini LED backlit displays for a high-end MacBook model in the second half of 2021. It is clear to point out that this equipment would be the new MacBook Pro that would be renewed next year with a screen that could be viewed at a higher quality and also making sure not to sacrifice the autonomy of the equipment. This is not the first rumor that has been spilled in this regard, since Ming-Chi Kuo himself already stated several weeks ago that Apple is working on a 16 ″ and 14.1 ″ MacBook Pro with this technology. The first of these according to the guru would see the light at the end of this year, although this is a somewhat uncertain date within the Apple calendar.
In addition to the Mac range, the iPad Pro would also benefit from this technology in its future generations. Right now Epistar is positioned as Apple’s largest supplier to have mini-LED screens that are integrated into the iPad Pro 2021. This could be the first product within the Apple ecosystem to be released with these features. Although Ming-Chi Kuo aims for a launch later this year, it is possible that it will be at that time when production begins delaying the launch to Q1 2020. What seems clear is that 2021 will be a year full of innovation by part of Apple with these new screens in much of its product range. This will be the main novelty that is announced and in which they will have worked for several years so that it can end up reaching their teams.
Advantages of mini-LED screens
When it comes to mini-LED technology, many users may not understand whether it is better or worse than the OLED screens that are now integrated into many of Apple’s products. In short, we would be facing a screen with all the benefits that OLED offers but adding that the designs may be thinner and lighter. These screens integrate from 1,000 to 10,000 fully individual LEDs. This makes the blacks much deeper when the lighting is completely turned off, something that also directly affects the autonomy by lengthening it.
In addition to achieving these deeper blacks, the colors themselves will be much richer and the contrast will be much higher than that of LED screens. The problem with this technology is that today it is quite expensive and until it is standardized throughout the industry it will be something that costs much more money to produce than a normal screen. That is why if you are interested in this technology, you should prepare for a possible price increase.
