The latest iPad Pro and MacBook Pro models have cute little mini LED displays, but there are rumors that Apple has plans to adopt OLED displays in the future. In fact, a two-panel OLED device may be in the works.

According to Korean website The Elec, Apple is in talks with Samsung and LG to use a two-stack tandem structure OLED display in future iPads and MacBooks. That sounds strange, but it means those screens will be even brighter than they are now.

The Elec reports that this tandem display structure could offer up to twice the brightness of Apple's existing OLED devices, such as the iPhone 13, by stacking two layers of red, green, and blue emitting layers.

But what devices will feature this new display if this rumor comes to fruition, Elec claims that the iPad display will come in 11-inch and 12.9-inch sizes, and that the iPad Pro will be getting this special upgrade As for the MacBook, the MacBook Pro is the most likely candidate, given the cost of OLED displays and Apple's continued use of LCD in lower-end models.

The report also claims that the two-tiered iPad display will feature low-power LTPO panels. iPad Pro has offered ProMotion since 2017, but the switch to LTPO will likely mean that the tablet will offer a wider refresh rate likely means that the tablet will offer a wider range of refresh rates.

It is not entirely clear what the mini LEDs on the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro earlier this year mean. We had heard rumors that Apple was planning to add mini-LED displays to more products over the next couple of years, but it is not clear whether this is still the case. In particular, there are supply chain issues affecting the tech industry, including Apple.

Mini-LEDs have the advantage of offering better brightness, contrast, and hue than standard OLED panels, but are generally considered more expensive due to their lack of widespread adoption. No one knows what Apple plans to do, and a phased approach to product displays may end up confusing people.

Of course, this is not the first time the iPad has been mentioned as having an OLED display. The first OLED iPad was initially rumored to arrive in 2022, but recent rumors have ruled out that possibility; Elec also claims that this launch has been pushed back to 2023 or 2024. The two-tiered OLED MacBook, on the other hand, could be launched in 2025.
