The next iPad Pro is currently in production, at least according to sources. And it could make the iPad Pro an even thinner and lighter tablet with even better screen technology, making one of the best tablets even better.

The news comes from Koren's website The Elec, which reports that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with Mini-LED display is "in prototype" and will be available "as early as Q4."

This report echoes earlier rumors that Mini-LED screens will be included in the next MacBook and Apple displays.

Mini-LED iPad Pro panels will be provided by LG Display. The article is contradictory as to when these new iPad Pros will appear, with both "later this year" and "as early as Q4."

We have some doubts about a 2020 release. Apple has already released the 2020 iPad Pro, and the company does not typically release two versions of the same device in the same year.

The mini-LED iPad Pro would mean that Apple would switch from LCD technology, and its benefits would start with the quality of the display.

OLEDs have been getting a lot of attention lately, but the new Mini-LED panel will also offer not only higher brightness, but also a better contrast ratio and more true-to-life black tones. As the name suggests, this is achieved by using small LEDs (light-emitting diodes) for the display's backlight.

Mini LED screens also do not suffer from the burn-in problems that can affect OLED screens.
