According to ET News, Apple is now making final prototypes of iPad devices with OLED displays, with the device emphasizing on a lighter design and superior picture quality. The prototypes are being created with Korean display partners Samsung and allow Apple to conduct a variety of tests. A special coating is also being developed by Apple to improve the display's longevity, owing to how thin it is.

The OLED iPad is expected to have a thinner, lighter design, and "unrivaled picture quality," thanks in part to a dry etching technique that considerably lowers the weight of the display. Apple has not employed this method to make the iPhone's OLED panel lighter since it previously resulted in a cost savings over prior iPhones with LCD displays and would result in first release on the iPad;

The first OLED iPad models are anticipated to be an 11-inch and a 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The devices are expected to go on sale in 2024.
