To try and recreate the deep blacks that make OLED so great, this panel uses over 10000 LEDs and 2500 dimming zones so that every part of the display can be lit precisely. LCD can often be brighter and cheaper, but the use of a backlight to illuminate those pixels means that blacks look more grey. OLED, for example, is expensive and hard to produce and can suffer from lower brightness levels at larger sizes – however the use of individually lit pixels give it amazing inky blacks and vivid colours. OLED and LCD both have strengths and weaknesses. Like OLED, mini-LED offers far deeper, inkier blacks along with improved contrast and richer colours. The new tech here is mini-LED, which is taking over from the previous LED and the result is a little more like the OLED panel from an iPhone 12 Pro, Apple Watch 6 or some of the best TVs around.

After over a week with it I can confirm that you need to really be committed to the ultimate iPad Pro experience for this to be worth the high asking price. On a technical level this is the best tablet you can find, but it’s not right for everyone. The new iPad Pro is a high-end machine with the same chipset as the new iMac M1 and a mobile screen that’s bolder and brighter than anything I have seen from Apple before. This isn’t a tablet for the odd email reply or entertaining the kids during a long car ride.
