Apple will skip announcing a new iPad Pro device this year, and will do so in early 2024. And LG.
The deal between Apple and display maker BOE is still being negotiated, effectively keeping the Chinese manufacturer out of the game, at least in the first push.
Apple’s flagship tablet product sold more than 70 million units during the last fiscal year. Between October and December 2022, the company took his $9.4 billion in sales, a massive 28% year-over-year increase.
Reports suggest that the new iPad Pro tablet will have a slightly larger panel, but it remains to be seen if that will change the overall size of the device. The inch version replaces the 13.1 inch screen.
Omdia analyst Kang Min-soo recently spoke at the Korean Chamber of Commerce. They say there is no doubt that Korean manufacturers such as Samsung and his LG are still the leaders in his OLED market thanks to foldable devices. However, we must remember the precedent of the LCD business, where China accounted for a large portion of sales.
Looking at the OLED display segment, Samsung and LG together, which used to hold 100% of the market, now lead with over 80% market share, with the rest mostly destined for China. South Korean manufacturers are still “four to six years ahead” of Chinese companies. Local governments are pushing digital commercialization to further increase demand for OLEDs in 2027, protecting their peers at the expense of their Huanghai competitors. .
