News & Reviews:   mini-LED

Apple may move away from mini-LED displays for its future iPads and MacBooks lineups and opt for OLED displays instead. This is according to industry sources which claim that demand for mini-LED suppliers is shrinking due to Apple’s alleged move.   

Not long after the WWDC22, news about a 15-inch MacBook Air and 14-inch iPad popped out of nowhere. Since the rumoured iPad has such a large display, we all assume it would fall under the Pro category. However, it seems like we are wrong according to this new information.

Every year, new monitors and TVs are announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). It's the same for CES 2022, which has already seen the unveiling of new TVs from Samsung. Yesterday, LG also unveiled its latest Smart TV lineup for 2022.

According to sources, Apple is expected to launch a new MacBook Pro this year with the mini-LED display from the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Due to the ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19, the new laptop might come on schedule but in limited quantities.

For Samsung, the in-house QLED has seen a leap in advancement with the upgrade to Neo QLED. The company has launched a range of new Smart TVs using this panel, promising slimmer displays, better viewing experiences and more. We introduced some of the changes before, but for today, let's take a look at 6 factors that make the Neo QLED 8K TVs great for work, home entertainment, and gaming.

With how many rumours about Apple products that will feature mini-LED displays in 2021, you're probably starting to think it's going to be for real. More so when the source is an industry analyst, who claims that there will be two MacBooks with a mini-LED display next year.

Back in September, it was rumoured that the next iPad Pro would come with a mini LED screen. Now, it looks like the launch window for this iPad Pro has been decided. Apple could unveil its next flagship tablet in March 2021.

Brands have been looking into mini LED displays for the last few months, but we haven't been seeing a lot of them. Aside from the MSI Creator 17 that was launched last month, we don't have many examples to go on. However, sources claim that Apple is looking to accelerate the adoption of mini LED panels and may have a product with it sooner than later.

Huawei has been branching into many product segments lately, including TVs and monitors. So, it isn't much of a surprise to hear that the company is already working on something new on that front. In fact, a new rumour claims that Huawei is developing three new monitors.

Back in March, well-known Apple analyst Kuo Ming-Chi predicted that the company could be developing up to six new products featuring mini-LED panels. And it looks like the prediction may not be off the mark. A new report claims that Apple could be ready to invest big into LED panel factories in Taiwan, with the estimated sum at NTD 10 billion (~RM1.43 billion).
