The new 11-inch iPad Pro may be in short supply due to a shortage of OLED screens

The upcoming 11-inch iPad Pro version may have supply problems when the number of OLED screens to produce for this iPad model will become scarce.

On May 7, Apple fans will receive new iPad models, and of course there will be a new generation iPad Pro with an M3 chip and for the first time an OLED screen.

However, the upcoming 11-inch iPad Pro version may have supply problems when the number of OLED screens to produce for this iPad model will become scarce. And that makes it difficult for users to own the new iPad Pro model.

According to DSCC analyst Ross Young, the number of OLED screens provided for the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is higher than the smaller sized Pro model.

The analyst said Samsung, one of the suppliers of OLED displays for the new iPad, is facing "technical challenges" in producing the display's layered structure, in which the panel has two glowing layer. Young believes this situation will last until the end of May, and could affect the availability of the new 11-inch iPad Pro at launch.

Previously, this analyst also predicted that the launch of the new iPad Pro would be delayed due to limitations in new screen production. LG is expected to produce all 12.9-inch OLED panels, while both LG and Samsung will produce 11-inch panels.

Confirming Young's report, there was more information found on firmware for both Samsung and LG's new OLED displays in iPadOS 17.5 beta files. This software is expected to be pre-installed on the new iPad. In addition to the OLED screen, the new generation iPad Pro is expected to have a thinner design.
