Apple's OLED iPad Air to Launch in 2027, Samsung Display to Begin Production Soon: Report
Apple may introduce an OLED iPad Air in 2027, with Samsung Display expected to begin panel production in late 2026 or early 2027, according to a recent report. The device could launch in the first half of 2027. It is likely to use a lower-cost OLED panel to keep pricing competitive. The move would extend OLED across most of Apple's tablet lineup, leaving only the standard iPad on LCD, while helping boost OLED demand and strengthening Samsung's role as a key supplier.
