Apple's largest handheld device for today's screen is the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and further up to the Mac computer. But even so, its weight of 682 grams and huge body size mean that it is impossible to use it handheld for a long time, and it is more flat or used with a stand, keyboard, etc.
But even so, it seems that Apple still wants to make the iPad bigger.
According to supply chain news, Apple is actively preparing a 15-inch iPad, they hope to bring users a larger screen experience of mobile devices, in addition to the use of OLED screens, it is said that LG and BOE are actively preparing.
LG is reconfiguring an OLED production line to meet Apple's needs, and LG Display is said to be moving some OLED-related manufacturing equipment and tools from the E5 production line at its plant in Gumi, South Korea, to another in Paju.
BOE has also allegedly revamped a factory to produce larger OLED displays for devices other than smartphones, including tablets and computers.
In addition, according to the recent revelations of the famous Apple whistleblower Mark Gurman, Apple now plans to launch an entry-level MacBook Pro to replace the M1 model launched in November 2020.
Gurman said that in order to distinguish the 2021 MacBook Pro from the M1 Pro and M1 Max Mac, Apple will make compromises in terms of display, processor and storage. Not only that, but the Mac will also cut off the Touch Bar.
Mark Gurman said: "I think the new entry-level MacBook Pro will be separated from the high-end MacBook Pro by eliminating the Touch Bar, the main difference being that there are fewer displays, processors and storage space, and no ProMotion or miniLED. It will be one of many new Macs with M2 chips, including updates to the 24-inch iMac, the entry-level Mac mini, and an improved version of the MacBook Air. ”
In terms of screen, it is reported that this Mac may use lcd screens, which means that there is no miniLED panel and ProMotion support. The rumored MacBook Air, on the other hand, may come with a miniLED display, but without ProMotion.
