What They Say
iFixit released a short (4 minutes) video showing the start of a tear down of the iPad Pro, highlighting the XDR display and backlight. The display is around 0.5mm thicker than the last version. The site managed to disassemble the display without destroying it, so there is some video of the backlight alone.
What We Think
I was amused that iFixit worked out that there were 2K5 local dimming zone, while ‘taking Apple’s word for it that there are over 10,000 LEDs’. Hmmm, there are four to each zone, so the maths didn’t seem too complicated! (BR)
The iPad Pro miniLEDs – note the ‘blob’ is a grain of rice, for scale.
