Apple is grappling with the screen shortage for its upcoming iPad Pro |
According to the latest report from Bloomberg, the next-generation display will be one of the main features of Apple's upcoming iPad Pro. However, the screen has production issues that can lead to out of initial supplies for the new device. .
The Cupertino, California, tech giant is planning to introduce the new MiniLED technology in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which is slated for release in the second half of April.
However, the company's overseas suppliers are facing lower production revenues, forcing the new MiniLED plant to temporarily halt production.
Apple plans to introduce an updated version of the iPad Pro tablet in two sizes this month, where the MiniLED screen can improve contrast and provide brighter images, and it is only intended for the 12.9-inch more expensive model.
The discontinuation of production could mean that the larger iPad Pro will ship in the future and quantities will be limited.
Bloomberg reported last month that Apple was gearing up to launch a new iPad Pro in April.
The leading supplier of MiniLED technology is Ennostar, general interface solutions and surface mount technology from Taiwan.
The new iPad Pro model is expected to be the first major hardware release from Apple in 2021. As people work and study at home, the product line is particularly strong.
In addition to the new screen, Apple plans to add a processor that will fit the dedicated M1 chip in the latest Macs, a faster USB-C port compatible with many accessories and displays, and an improved camera.
The iPad generated $ 8.4 billion in sales to Apple in the 2020 holiday quarter. This is the highest turnover since 2014.
As students, faculty, and staff gradually return to schools and offices, Apple has turned to upgraded iPad models to maintain interest in its tablet lineup.
