Korea's The Elec reports that Apple is planning to release an OLED iPad Air device in 2016. The leading display producer will be Samsung Display.
According to the report, the iPad Air AMOLED will be a single-stack LTPS AMOLED device, unlike the tandem OLEDs used in the 2024 iPad Pro devices. The report also suggests that the same AMOLED displays may also be used in the 2026 iPad Mini devices - as Apple aims to adopt OLEDs in all of its iPad devices in the future. But Apple hasn't fully decided on its iPad Mini OLED adoption roadmap yet.
Apple will also sign up a second OLED supplier (likely LG Display) as the company does not wish to rely on a single producer. Samsung's choice as the leading supplier makes sense if this is a single-stack device indeed, as SDC was (and maybe still is) struggling with the production of tandem AMOLEDs.
