There is no doubt that Ming-Chi Kuo is usually correct in his predictions thanks to the contacts you have with many companies and suppliers, although it is also true that sometimes he is also wrong or simply as some say he always throws rumors so that he will surely hit one of them in the end.
In Apple they have marked the way and as Kuo explains now, Apple could add the Mini-LED displays on iPads and MacBooks Next year. In this case, we are talking about the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, so there is still a long way to go for us to see if this ends up being fulfilled or is nothing.
Mini-LEDs for iPad and MacBook and microLEDs for Apple Watch
It seems that the screens have to be protagonists next year and the following years since we have been talking about the possible entry of the screens for a long time microLED in Apple Watch, now Kuo extends the change also in the screens of the iPad and MacBook with these miniLEDs.
In this case the main supplier would be LG Display and it is supported by other component suppliers such as Epistar, Nichia, TSMT, Zhen Ding and others. The good thing about these screens is that they will have about 10.000 LEDs installed, so it would clearly improve the OLED screens that we now have in many of our devices. The reduced size of these LEDs makes their incorporation easier and is that are smaller than 200 microns.
At the moment it is still too early to see what will happen to the screens of Apple devices, what is clear is that they are always in constant improvement and these new screens could be a major change to be true. We'll see if the rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro that is due to arrive these days adds any changes. We will have to keep an eye on what happens.
And because the Chinese does not put an estimate of manufacture, well, of course, SMOKE, I suppose the guy has lost credibility and is seeing if any leaks
