Anyone hoping for the big display revolution at Apple in 2022 can expect a disappointment. According to new reports, neither the iPad Pro (11-inch) nor the Studio Display from Apple are getting an upgrade to mini-LEDs anytime soon.
Analyst: iPad Pro and Studio Display without mini-LED display
Where Apple is headed in terms of displays is becoming a little more confusing with each new week. Now, Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst, has commented on the subject of mini-LEDs in upcoming Apple products. According to him, the next 11-inch variant of the iPad Pro will do so not enough for a mini LED display (Source: Ming Chi Kuo on Twitter). According to Kuo, there are no immediate plans to equip the screen with the special display technology for the Studio Display just presented.
There have been rumors before that Apple had to put its plans for the iPad Pro on hold – supposedly for cost reasons. Only time can tell whether the last word has actually been spoken here. According to display specialist and industry insider Ross Young, Apple could still consider introducing a 27-inch monitor with mini LEDs in June 2022. It is said to have a resolution of 5K and a refresh rate of no less than 120 Hertz.
Both Kuo and Young both have an impressive track record of display information for future Apple products. So the question remains intriguing as to whether Apple will announce new mini LED products this year or just existing mini LED devices updated.

Mini-LEDs: Advantages wherever you look
Mini LEDs are considered the Holy Grailwhen it comes to display technologies. While AMOLED displays used to be ahead in terms of black levels, mini-LEDs can at least keep up. In addition, there are very high contrast values and high brightness.
