Apple Plans OLED Display for Next-Generation iPad Air Expected in 2027

Apple is reportedly planning to equip the next-generation iPad Air with an OLED display, replacing the current LED-backlit LCD panels. According to Korean publication ETNews, Samsung Display is expected to begin mass production of these OLED panels by late 2026, enabling a possible launch of the updated iPad Air around March or May 2027. This change could align the iPad Air's display technology with that of the iPad Pro and potentially boost its sales due to improved features and cost advantages.
