“Apple to claim they invented OLED” ftfy
They’ve had OLED on their phones since the iPhone X (but not all of them, just the Pros). And their first Apple Watch had OLED. So it’s not exactly new for them. But they will absolutely market the new display with some fancy new words and act like it’s life-changing.
Even the non-pros have OLED. I think it’s any iPhone with FaceID.
The XR and 11 (non Pro) had LCD. The 12 and 12 Pro have the same exact OLED screen, so that’s when they stopped using LCD on the lower models with Face ID.
I think they used Samsung’s AMOLED and not LG’s OLED. Which are two different techs
Lol, right?
I love the caption on the top picture:
Apple is the leader in the global tablet computer market thanks to its popular iPad lineup.
No, it’s thanks to no one else really begin in the tablet market. iPads are frustratingly limited, by iOS. I’d go buy an Android tablet, but they’re really aren’t many to choose from (and I use an iPad every day).
No, it’s thanks to no one else really begin in the tablet market
It’s not like other manufacturers haven’t tried (and some still are trying), people just tend to buy ipads instead.
It’s 100% because of their iPads, there are plenty of alternatives but none stand up against the iPad. Everytime a new flagship tablet comes out it is thought to be the iPad killer.
They created the market and dominate it. They’re fucks like but they’re not wrong here.
The iPad’s popularity is the reason no one else is really in the tablet market anymore. Every OEM was pushing out a tablet in every size about a month ago but failed to make any decent amount of sales to stay relevant.
The Android space is getting more varied again in recent years but I really wouldn’t recommend one to an average user over an iPad.
I mean, they’re the leader because people are buying them the most.
There’s also quite a few Android tablet options. No one is really buying them mostly because they’re not great (personally, I really liked the ChromeOS tablets I bought but no one seems to want those either so the options for those are genuinely hard to find any options for).
But if the iPads are basically the best in the market despite not being everything you wish they were, I’m not getting the argument with their point.
Idk, it’s definitely something about the iPad. I have three different OS tablets along with their respective drawing styluses and keyboards:
- iPad Pro 12.9
- Galaxy Tab S8+
- Surface Pro 7
Almost regardless of the use-case, I still keep finding myself picking up the iPad more than the others. Even when the iPad and Galaxy tab have the same content effectively. Apple does tablets right, even though they restrict the hell out of them. When I need it for the rare occasion that something I want is only available on Android or Windows, then I’ll pick those up.
Why is the surface even on this list? It’s an actual computer and it’s like 4 years older than the others? It’s not even in the same category.
Because I own it and it’s a tablet that has tablet apps. This was about tablets specifically. It’s less limited than any of them as well. Why are you so upset? If you don’t like it being included, nothing else about my comment changes.
Also, it came out in 2019. My iPad came out in 2018.
I’d go buy an Android tablet, but they’re really aren’t many to choose from (and I use an iPad every day).
tf are you talking about? There’s only 134 models since january 2022.

Android tablet market is as lively as the Android phone market.
frustratingly limited, by iOS
To be nitpicky, they separated out iPadOS from iOS a while back. The two share many features still but iPadOS can do more.
Still not full MacOS level though, even on the m1/m2 iPad Pro models. Disappointingly.
I’m using Galaxy Tab S7+ and it is real nice. I don’t know what people do with their tablet but I never understood why some people say that Android tablet is garbage. I’ve used iPad too and I was very much frusted with their lack of proper file management/closed nature of the OS than lack of some better-polished apps on Android.
Honesty I’m a little bit concerned if they swich Macs as that will be a pretty good indicator of how resistive to OLED burn in modern panels are. A device you scroll social media and watch videos on is one thing. But for a lot of people you will have the same static elements on screen for hours at a time on a laptop or desktop.
Well honesty it would be kinda amusing to watch apple have to give out a bunch of free oled panels if lot’s of people get bad burn in.
My ultra cynical take is that burn-in is a business feature that will force people to repair or upgrade sooner rather than later.
Yeah as a developer I feel like my IDE is going to burn in.
Just don’t resize the panels and yur good. If you never display anything else burn in won’t be an issue.
And since you code so fast the characters won’t burn in.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ok but what if the ide gets redesigned
Ohhh I guess you will have to maintain a fork of the old ui. 😬 So better use an oss IDE.
Not ideal.
Burn in is pretty much a solved problem now. I have several OLED devices that each display static graphics and there is no visible burn in.
Are you sure they’re turned on? Not that they’ve burned in the static graphics :)
Really ? even after, like, three years of daily use ?
i’ve had my lg oled tv as a pc monitor for 3 years. daily use, mostly 60% brightness, no burn-in at all.
Yep! My OLED TV has sat around at 100% brightness with a taskbar sitting there for more than 5 years. No burn in at all. I’ve even watched those “burn in tester” videos to try to find it on purpose, too. I can’t notice a thing.
Especially considering they have a top menu bar and launcher always in the same place. Burn-in will be visible within a year, if not sooner. However Apple will give nothing for free, not unless there’s a threat of class action lawsuit.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On the flip side, it could be a blow to display makers that do not have much presence in this segment, including JDI and Sharp of Japan, and AUO and Innolux of Taiwan.
Apple has also started evaluating the possibility of making foldable iPads after it deploys the flexible OLED screens on the tablet, but it does not have a concrete timeline for doing so, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Huawei, for instance, has been a significant driver of this trend, which in turn has helped strengthen the Chinese display supply chain.
Having both the industry leaders using OLED for their tablets would likely convince other brands to follow suit, further stimulating supply chain investments for the technology.
The rising penetration of OLED in the smartphone, tablet and personal computer markets will “inevitably” add pressure on the traditional LCD display suppliers, the analyst said.
“It is unavoidable that we will see more LCD display makers downsizing their capacity of the screen with the use of OLED is growing in the market,” Fan said.

Because they need new reasons to keep prices artificially high, not because of consumer preferences.

OLED iPad would be sick, that’s the only flaw with my 2020 iPad Pro
