iPad Air & Mini OLED Upgrade: Truth or Fiction? | CultCast Explores New Apple Rumors

If you're looking for a new iPad, we know that the iPad Pros are going to be updated

with OLED fairly soon because there's been a ton of rumors about it

And I think that we're probably going to get those in the first quarter of 2024

Correct me if I'm wrong about those dates, but I think that was Ming-Chi Kuo that said that

But you don't want to shell out the money for an iPad Pro, let's say, because let's

be honest, who actually needs an iPad that powerful? Well, if you don't mind waiting a while, and it will be a while, it appears as though OLED

is also coming to iPad Air and iPad Mini, which I actually find hard to believe

Like an OLED screen? That's a very premium screen experience coming to iPad Air and iPad Mini

But apparently that is what's going to happen on Friday. There's a Korean language site called ET News, and they reported that both the iPad

Air and the iPad Mini will be upgraded to OLED. I find that hard to believe

But they say it apparently won't happen until 2026. So can you make that iPad Mini last another two plus years if you want to get that OLED

I don't know. iPads last forever. And I'm still using mine from 2018, and I'm trying to convince myself that I need a new one

I feel like it still works exactly like it did when I got it

I don't really do anything on it but web stuff. And if that's all you do on your iPad, then they kind of last forever

Looks like you're about to say something clever, Lewis. What's that? I got an iPad 4, released in 2012

Still works great. Do you really? Used it every week. Isn't that the iPad HD

Isn't that what they called that one? I don't know. I think it is. I don't know what it's called

I think that is the iPad HD. I think it was the first one that I ever..

I think it was the first iPad that our household ever had. I bought it for the wife

And, you know, of course, you know, several generations later, she finally let me have

the old one. But I use it every week for darts. What a gal. Believe it or not, the battery's still great

Lasts for hours. And... No, you go ahead. I was really interrupting

It actually works better than the... I mean, the battery works better than the iPad Pro I have

It's not nearly as old, but I think that's because I had bad charging

Bad charging on the iPad Pro. Bad charging habits. I kept it charging all the time. I'm such a moron

Oh, yeah. That's the battery killer right there. I'm still using two iPad 2s. Two

That's what I'm letting my kids use. Yeah, they have two iPad 2s

They're terrible, man. They are truly awful at this point. Nice and slow

It takes forever to do anything. Nothing ever wants to load. You can't use..

Lots of apps aren't available. Most apps are not available. But my kids don't care

They don't even notice that it's slow. And every once in a while, they'll come out to me and they'll be like, this app just stopped working

So I have to double-click the home button and quit the app

That's actually the only reason why I want new ones. Because my kids are always bugging me about how their iPad is frozen

And I'm so tired of having to fix it for them that I almost want to buy a new iPad just

for that reason. But my wife keeps trying to convince me we don't need another one

Let's hear. Betty Rice from the chat. I have the iPad Pro M1

I run Morfolio, PDF Expert, SketchUp. I can remote access my Windows computer

What a gal. Remote accessing her Windows machine from her iPad. I do the same thing

And I'm truly impressed that you like to do that. It's a beast and I feel like there's no reason for me to upgrade right now

And M1 especially. Dude, I mean, talk about overkill. That's the problem with the iPad Pros

That's why I'm excited for the next generation iPad Air, especially if that rumor is true

and they make a 12.9 inch version of it. I'm truly tempted by that to have like a large, regular iPad that isn't super overcharged

and way overkill for anything that I would need to do on it
