Apple is expected to replace the LCD screens in both iPad Air sizes with OLED displays in the first half of 2027, according to DigiTimes. This shift would mark the third iPad line to adopt OLED, following the iPad Pro and iPad mini. Samsung Display is projected to supply most panels, while BOE seeks orders for one size.
Industry estimates forecast 4 to 5 million units shipped annually for both the iPad Air and iPad mini, and 3 to 4 million for the iPad Pro. The OLED iPad Air is expected to use a single-stack design with a 60Hz refresh rate, unlike the iPad Pro’s 120Hz ProMotion display. The move to OLED is seen as a major upgrade for the mid-tier iPad lineup.
