According to the latest report, Apple’s upcoming high-end iPad display faces a serious shortage of supply. The report claims that Apple suppliers are experiencing low manufacturing yields of displays. In addition, at least one mini-LED manufacturer has had to suspend production. Although there are troubles with the manufacturing of mini-LED displays, Apple still plans to launch new 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021 models as early as this month.
According to previous reports, the iPad Pro 2021 will use mini LED displays. When you compare this display to the iPad Pro LCD screen, there is a significant increase in performance. The mini LED display increases the color reproduction and contrast. In addition, the use of Mini LED may be more energy-efficient.
Furthermore, the iPad Pro will come with the same dual-lens system as the previous generation. In addition, the 12.9-inch model Smart Connector will not be in the new version. The new iPad Pro model also comes with an A14X processor. According to reports, the performance of this chip is close to that of the M1 chip. In addition, the iPad Pro may also support Thunderbolt 4 connections, allowing it to connect with displays, hard drives, and other peripherals at a high speed. According to various sources, Apple will hold a new iPad product launch conference in April.

Earlier Nikkei Asian Review reported that due to global shortages of parts, the production of some MacBooks and iPads has been postponed.
