The display will be up to 3,000 nits bright (almost double the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro's maximum brightness) and will integrate a software-driven "Smart Island."

The news also said that LG Display plans to start mass production of OLED panels for Apple's OLED version of the iPad Pro from February 2024. The company originally expected to offer 6.2 million OLED panels, but has now increased that to 6.5 million.
