The screen is the most important part of a mobile device, not only because of how it looks, but also because of how it adapts to each situation and how we can interact with it. During years Apple has always been occupying the first positions (or directly the first position) in terms of screen quality for iPhone and iPad, although in recent years the advance says Samsung's AMOLED technology made things not so clear for Apple.
This year with the arrival of the OLED screen to the iPhone X and the new LCD screen of the iPad Pro, however, it seems that again the awards are back on the Cupertino side, since the company just received the Display Industry Award for its displays for the latest iPhone and iPad Pro models.
The iPhone X debuted an OLED screen. After years of rumors and with Apple resisting the implementation of that technology on its screens, an iPhone was finally making use of it, and we could finally enjoy True blacks, 1.000.000: 1 contrast, and HDR support, both Dolby Vision and HDR10, something that few can boast on a mobile device. This technology together with True Tone that adapts the color of the screen to ambient light have made the iPhone X screen worthy of this industry award.
The iPad does not have an OLED screen, but its LCD screen is the best in its category. And now with Apple's ProMotion technology even better. The screen of the new 10,5-inch iPad Pro has a refresh rate of 120Hz, which makes the animations much more fluid, but Apple makes it adapt to the content it shows, so that it can range from 24Hz to 120Hz to always offer the best possible image. It is the first device to incorporate this type of screen, and that is why it has won this award.
Rumors about next year's devices talk about OLED and LCD screens of new technology, and there is also talk of the possible arrival of the OLED screen to the iPad, something that still seems complicated. We will see what news Apple brings us in this regard.
