Apple is said to be unveiling its new generation of iPad Air and iPad Pro models on May 7, 2024.

12.9-inch iPad Air to skip mini-LED display
According to Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO and analyst Ross Young (via MacRumors), the 12.9-inch iPad Air will feature an LCD display instead of a mini-LED display. Earlier, the analyst highlighted that Apple is planning to bring the new mini-LED display technology to the 12.9-inch iPad Air. However, now the tables have turned and we may not see an upgraded display with the upcoming launch.

The mini-LED display was a much-needed upgrade for the 12.9-inch iPad Air to improve brightness for HDR content, deeper blacks, lower power consumption, and more. Ross Young highlighted that the decision was taken due to the high cost of the panel, therefore, both the iPad Air models will feature the LCD display.
