“QLED” is a backlit LCD technology. Not an improvement over OLED because it’s not using emissive pixels. “QD-OLED” and “Micro-LED” would be an upgrade to OLED and more of a direct comparison.

Apple holds several Micro-LED patents. I suspect they will have a competitive advantage in Micro-LED display tech once the world inevitably shifts to that technology as a replacement of OLED.

As someone with an xdr 12.9 pro, I can easily say it isn’t even in the same league as my s95b qd oled tv.

They can still only fly for a minute or two and a slight breeze kills them. 500 drones screaming into a warm breeze for 60 seconds and moving all of 50 ft then falling to the ground isn’t exactly a concern.

Don’t downvote this person.

Well I was given a 32" backlit LCD from a budget manufacturer for nothing today because some of the buttons on the remote didn't work. Took 30 seconds to pull it apart and use a disposable spectacle wipe to remove the sticky gunk from the circuit board, so yea free beats better. No way I'm spending second hand motorcycle money on a TV.

Samsung and LG produce IPads?

The Supreme AI will be able to churn these out at a record pace though, with 500 mini searcher drones for every human.

Apple’s displays are still amazing even without being OLED

I wouldn’t worry too much. I have a small fpv drone that size. As long as you are more than a minute and a half of flight time away you are good.

Welcome to 2015 Apple.

Edit: here's a cheap Samsung tablet with an AMOLED screen.

AMOLED and OLED have been the standard for a while, and about to move on to QLed...

APPLE only serves you the old crap. It's NEW to YOU.

Does this mean we finally get 10bit displays to include the device in 10bit workflows?

It is a shame how the hardware is held back by a lack of use cases that actually flex its power.

I wish this thing would actually deserve the pro name.

Nice I knew dumping water on myself would pan out!

Indeed! Lost my uncle to it back before Thanksgiving :(

Fuck ALS!

Hope they can find a cure or vaccine type preventative for this horrible disease.

From the article: Apple plans to introduce new 13-inch MacBook Air, 11.1-inch iPad Pro, and 13-inch iPad Pro models with OLED displays in 2024, according to display industry analyst Ross Young, who has a proven track record with Apple rumors. Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also expects the first MacBook with an OLED display to launch next year.

Young previously said the new MacBook Air and iPad Pro models would use "two-stack" OLED displays with two red, green, and blue emission layers for increased brightness. He also said all of the devices would support ProMotion for up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

All existing iPads and MacBooks are equipped with backlit LCD displays, whereas OLED displays have self-emitting pixels and do not require backlighting, allowing for higher contrast ratio, greater color accuracy, and lower power consumption. Apple already uses OLED displays for the latest Apple Watch and iPhone models, excluding the iPhone SE.

Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra is expected to switch to a microLED display in 2024, and other Apple products will likely follow over the course of several years. microLED will be the next display technology that Apple adopts after OLED, paving the way for even higher contrast ratio, increased brightness, and lower power consumption.

Isn’t this one of the plot devices in Minority Report?

That's so awesome. The fact stuff like this can be made gives me hope that my parents 80s won't suck like it did for my grandparents.

Right?

And you only have to wear a VCR on your butt!

Minority Report would like to know your location...

My s20 has amazing zoom but I'd also like a macro lens, is there any discussion of that?

There probably will, but it might be free for a couple years to compete with Apple. I can't imagine the service will cost more than InReach, though. If it is, there is no real incentive to switch over for those of us already using that service.
