After Apple officially launched the iPad mini 6 in September last year, there were rumors from Korean forums that the next-generation iPad mini 7 will be equipped with the same 120Hz ProMotion display with automatic update frequency technology as the M1 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but the DisplaySearch display Analyst Ross Young denies this!
iPad mini is the smallest in the iPad family and can be held in one hand. In September last year, Apple launched iPad mini 6. With its excellent performance and lightweight body, it became a hot topic among Apple's new products at that time.
iPad mini 6 key features
- 8.3-inch LED backlight multi-touch display
- A15 bionic chip (6 core CPU + 5 core GPU)
- equipped with 5G network speed
- camera system: 12 million pixel wide-angle camera, 12 million pixel ultra-wide-angle front camera The camera
- has a "character centering" function
- supports Apple Pencil 2 magnetic adsorption charging contacts
However, the iPad mini 6 screen at the time was because when sliding the screen, the left and right sides of the screen were out of sync, making the screen look like shaking jelly. The problem called " jelly effect " has also been widely criticized, so it is rumored that Apple plans to put ProMotion on the iPad mini in order to solve this jelly problem. The rumored news of
has still been reported by foreign media in the past two days, and netizens directly tagged DisplaySearch display analyst Ross Young with this news and asked the industry’s opinion. Ross Young directly said:
iPad mini 6 screen use Amorphous silicon (a-Si) LCD backplane technology is the first choice in the display market because of its low cost and relatively simple production. Compared with the iPad Pro model, which uses oxide thin film transistor technology (Oxide TFT), it can provide Higher contrast, update frequency and resolution, so the panel used by iPad mini is not compatible with ProMotion. He was surprised by such rumors!
Although, considering that Apple may use this method to solve the screen jelly problem, it seems unlikely that the iPad mini, which is designed for portability and daily use, can be directly upgraded to a screen of the same level as the iPad Pro.
The early update time of iPad mini was about once a year, but later it became irregular. It is currently rumored that the seventh generation of iPad mini will be launched in 2023 next year, so the closer to the release time, the more related rumors The accuracy will also be higher.
