Apple is ready to launch its new flagship iPads, and the company has teased its next launch event for May 7. That's when Apple's new OLED-equipped iPad Pros will likely be unveiled, but one of those iPads could be in short supply due to Samsung.

Apple's OLED 11-inch iPad Pro could face shortages

Samsung Eco 2 OLED Plus Display Panel Power Consumption Efficiency

Apple is expected to launch two versions of the iPad Pro, one with an 11-inch OLED screen and the other with a 12.9-inch OLED screen. The 11-inch variant reportedly uses LG Display's and Samsung Display's OLED panels, while the 12.9-inch variant exclusively uses LG Display's OLED panel. However, according to industry insider Ross Young (via 9To5Mac), the shipments of the 12.9-inch OLED iPad Pro seem to be higher than those of the 11-inch variant.

Ross Young claims that Samsung has been facing technical challenges in producing 11-inch OLED panels for new iPad Pros. He also claims that this situation could persist throughout May and affect the availability of the upcoming iPad Pro. A 9To5Mac report claimed that drivers found in iPadOS 17.5 reveal that the upcoming iPad Pros use display panels from LG and Samsung.

Previous reports claim that upcoming iPad Pro models from Apple use a completely new type of OLED panel. It is called a two-stack tandem OLED panel with two emissive layers. Such a panel is said to offer longer life, higher brightness, and a lower chance of pixel burn-in.
