Highlights 9-inch iPad Air confirmed to launch without mini-LED display Decision driven by cost considerations to maintain affordability Apple's "Let Loose" event scheduled for May 7, expected to reveal new iPad models Mini-LED remains exclusive to higher-end iPad Pro models There’s a new 12.9-inch iPad Air coming next month but it now seems that there will be no mini-LED display on it after all, contrary to earlier rumours. A bit of a blow to the heads of Apple fans patiently waiting for the low-cost iPad with a better display tech. Ross Young, a trustworthy source for Apple news, had initially claimed that the larger 2024 iPad Air would feature mini-LED technology based on information from multiple supply chain sources. Now he has done a proper U-turn on his stance, stating that even more supply chain sources have confirmed the lack of a mini-LED display on the upcoming tablet. Mini-LED iPad Air Unlikely Apple's 12.9-Inch iPad Air to Reportedly Launch Without a Mini-LED Display Young explains that it makes sense for Apple to exclude the mini-LED display from the 12.9-inch iPad Air, as it is a more expensive component. While this news may disappoint those who were looking forward to the improved display technology, the absence of mini-LED is why Apple can position the iPad Air as a more affordable option. There is a reason by the iPad is one of the highest selling tablets in the world. So is there any hope for a future iPad Air with a better viewing experience? Currently, the mini-LED display technology is employed in Apple's iPad Pro lineup, which positions the devices at a higher price point due to the added cost of the displays. Understandably, Apple would choose not to include this premium feature in the iPad Air series, which is aimed at a different market segment. The decision to forgo the mini-LED display on the 12.9-inch iPad Air is likely driven by cost considerations. While it is unclear whether the move was influenced by surplus mini-LED displays intended for the current iPad Pro models, the exclusion of this technology from the iPad Air lineup is consistent with Apple's strategy of differentiating its product offerings based on pricing and features. Apple’s Let Loose Event Decision driven by cost considerations to maintain affordability As Apple gears up for its "Let Loose" event on May 7, expectations are high for refreshed iPad Air and iPad Pro models, both powered by the company's M2 chip. While the 11-inch iPad Air is anticipated to receive an update, the introduction of a 12.9-inch model without the mini-LED display will broaden the lineup's appeal to a wider range of consumers. FAQs What is the new feature expectation for the 12.9-inch iPad Air? Despite earlier rumours, the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air will not feature a mini-LED display, focusing instead on maintaining an affordable price point. Why has Apple decided against including mini-LED in the new iPad Air? Apple aims to keep the iPad Air affordable, and including a costly mini-LED display would raise the price, conflicting with its market positioning. Will there be any iPad models with mini-LED technology? Mini-LED technology will continue to be a feature of the higher-priced iPad Pro models, differentiating them from the more budget-friendly iPad Air. What can we expect from Apple's upcoming "Let Loose" event? The event is anticipated to showcase refreshed iPad Air and iPad Pro models, all expected to be equipped with Apple's M2 chip. Is there a larger version of the iPad Air being released? Yes, Apple is set to introduce a 12.9-inch model of the iPad Air at its upcoming event, broadening its appeal with a larger screen option but without mini-LED technology.
