The iPad Air lineup got a mild upgrade earlier this year with the new 11 and 13-inch models featuring the Apple M2 chip but both were still equipped with Liquid Retina IPS LCDs.
A new report out of South Korea claims the Air lineup is due for an OLED display upgrade in 2026. As per TheElec, Samsung Display is touted as the main supplier for the next generation iPad Air screens which will be of the single-stacked OLED variety and not the Tandem OLED found on the latest iPad Pros.
A previous report from last year also backs the same 2026 timeframe for the iPad Air OLED and suggests we may also see an iPad Mini with an 8.7-inch OLED display.
