If you follow the events in the Apple world, you certainly didn't miss this year's first conference on April 20th. Applu. Our magazine has already published a lot of individual articles in which we have discussed the new features. Just to remind you, the Cupertino company has released localization tags AirTags, new generation Apple TV, a redesigned iMac and improved iPad ProIn this article, we will focus on the Apple tablet with the nickname Pro, whose 12.9″ varianta has seen a huge improvement in the display area.

For a long time before the introduction of the new iPad Pro, there was talk that it would minialmost its bigger varianta was supposed to come with a completely redesigned and modern display with backlighting mini-LED. Even though Apple He introduced this backlight technology relatively well during the presentation, so many of you may still not know what it is. mini-LED is and why after it Apple actually reached. Many ignorant individuals confuse the display designation with the display backlight – it should be noted that these are two different concepts. In the case of the 12.9″ iPad Pro, the display type is LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The smaller, 11″ varianta, the display type is also LCD, however, it uses "classic" backlighting using LED diodes, unlike mini-LED diodes on the bigger brother.
Technology mini-LED is a newly used form of display backlighting. As you can guess from the name, the LEDs themselves, which are used for backlighting, are really miniSpecifically, it is stated that instead of a single ordinary LED, five mini-LED diodes – just to give you an idea, these diodes are only "large" 200 to 600 micrometers. If they are mini-The LEDs are much smaller, which means that there are many more of them that can logically fit on the display area. This also made it possible to use the so-called local dimming zones. You can imagine these local dimming zones as groups of diodes - the new 12.9″ iPad Pro has 2 of these "groups". Given that each group of diodes can change the backlight intensity independently of the others, this means that each of these 596 groups can create its own brightness intensity.

So it is no problem for one group to have the backlight, or rather the brightness, set to maximum, while the group next to it may have the backlight set to full minimum. Thanks to this, the display has an absolutely perfect contrast ratio – specifically, a value of 1:000. Simply put, this means that the dark parts of the display are even darker and the light parts are even brighter. Thanks to all this, the 000″ iPad Pro display can also display HDR (High Dynamic Range) content. When displaying HDR content, this display can produce peak brightness of up to max1600 nits in the minimum value, and 600 nits in the classic mode. Just for the sake of comparison, the display of the current 13″ MacBook Pro can produce max500 nits maximum brightness.

Some of you may be wondering what this actually means for users, and why they should get the new 12.9″ iPad Pro with a display with mini-LED backlighting. Right from the start, I would like to say that for a classic user this means practically nothing – for ordinary users this professional Apple tablet is meaningless. For professionals, to whom the mentioned iPad Pro intended, this simply means much better color rendering and higher maximal brightness. Compared to classic LEDs, they are mini-LEDs are also more energy efficient, which should have a positive effect on battery life. It is generally stated that thanks to mini-With LED backlighting, the classic LCD display almost approaches the OLED display.
I would also like to mention in this article that mini-The 12.9″ iPad Pro’s LED display can be easily compared to the Pro Display XDR monitor – and surprisingly, the new iPad Pro’s display is even better in some areas. For example, we can mention the number of local dimming zones it has. iPad Pro 2 and Pro Display XDR “only” 596 – and it should be noted that the Pro Display XDR has a 596″ diagonal, so it is roughly 32 times larger than the 12.9″ iPad Pro. The display sensitivity is then 2,5 PPI in the case of the iPad Pro, and 264 PPI in the Pro Display XDR. The classic one also differs maxThe maximum brightness, which is 100 nits lower on the Pro Display XDR, reaches 500 nits. The price comparison is also interesting, as the cheapest configuration of the 12.9″ iPad Pro with mini-The LED display costs 30 crowns, while the Pro Display XDR can be purchased for 990 crowns.

I dare to disagree somewhat with the author's statement "At the outset, I would like to say that this means practically nothing for a classic user - for ordinary users, this professional apple tablet lacks meaning."
Mini-LED not only means a significant increase in contrast, but also a significantly better rendering of black color, almost like OLED technology. Simply put, where there should be darkness, there is darkness. Everyone, even a layman, will appreciate that.
Personally, I think that a tablet for more than 30 thousand crowns is expensive and somewhat unusable for an ordinary user. The epithet "Pro" in the name is definitely not chosen for nothing. Classic users will appreciate it more in terms of price and usability iPad Air or iPad. The sentence was not meant to imply that the average user would not appreciate a better display, but rather that it is iPad Pro simply intended for professionals who know how to use it, not for ordinary users. But thanks for your insight :) have a nice evening.
Pavle you are right. The nickname Pro is really for someone who uses Pro. A classic user reaches for the classic or Air. I myself bought a first generation iPad 10,5 Pro and will use it to the full. I am a keen amateur photographer. And the iPad helps a lot. I still have it and won't think about buying a new one. I will make enough for my needs. Max Maybe some passionate gamers will take it for the version?
Your article is dedicated to mini-iPad Pro LED display, tooneAfter all, it's in the name. Not usability for amateurs. And the display is, in my opinion, exactly what a regular user would appreciate or use in this product. The difference in black rendering between mini-LED or OLED technology and regular LED displays are quite distinctive.
And if the speaker, an amateur photographer, cannot appreciate the significantly higher quality display, it is strange. For photographers, the quality of the display's color reproduction is a very important matter. But I guess we are all different...
The article is of course dedicated to mini-LED displays, but in the part you quoted, I'm talking about the iPad Pro in general. Each of us has different priorities anyway - for some the display is important, for some it is not. I completely understand and respect your opinion, in any case, I still stand by the fact that iPad Pro (the whole thing, not just the display) is intended for professionals only.
I wonder how visible the "light maps" are on this display in the dark. This technology has been used by TVs for a long time, but with a small number of diodes, this backlight has a terrible effect of light maps, and it is better if it is backlit all the time. Here, of course, it will be a different league. I still don't understand Apple, for straight away it won't give OLED, which is equally the best in this respect and actually easier to manufacture. Only Samsung presents it as something better in the case of QLED (monkey house).
