Ming-Chi Kuo: OLED for 2022 iPad Air and Forecasts Apple XR

What They Say

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is regarded as a good source for reasonably reliable rumours on Apple’s plans and we saw two separate reports on his comments.

First, he has said that he expects Apple to use an OLED in the 2022 iPad Air (while the MacBook Air will start using miniLED LCDs).

Separately, 9to5Mac reported that he has said that the widely rumoured Apple headset, expected in 2022, will feature sophisticated eye-tracking and possibly featuring iris recognition for security.

What We Think

Apple bought German eye tracking developer, SMI, four years ago, so it would be surprising if it wasn’t finally making use of it in XR. (Apple Buys SMI to Acquire Gaze Technology) (BR)
