According to ET News, Apple is now producing the final prototype of an iPad with an OLED display, a device that focuses on lightweight design and improved image quality. The first OLED ‌iPad‌ models are expected to include the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro. These devices are rumored to launch in 2024.

The prototypes were reportedly produced in conjunction with South Korean Display partners Samsung and LG Display and allowed Apple to conduct a series of tests. Apple is said to be focused on providing a lighter design and “unmatched image quality” for the OLED iPad, in part because the dry etching process significantly reduces the weight of the display. The company is also thought to be developing a special coating to improve the durability of displays, depending on the thickness of the display.

Ross Young, a display analyst, said relatively low sales expected for the Apple Watch Series 8, which has a larger 1.99-inch display, could indicate higher retail prices. Production of the larger Apple Watch Series 8 models expected to join the lineup this year has been relatively low, reflecting its forecast sales.

Apple is said to expect to ship just 1m of the larger Apple Watch in the third quarter, compared with 4m of the 45mm “Apple Watch Series 8” model. That suggests the new, larger Apple Watch could have a high price tag that limits sales. This supports Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman’s recent speculation that the new Apple Watch will be styled as a high-end model, priced between $900 and $999. In addition to a slightly larger display, the device is expected to offer better durability and longer battery life.
