2024 OLED iPad Pros Set to Be a Lot Pricier Due to Costly Panel Production Process

To me, its Mini LED display is the best upgrade of iPad Pro M1.
I search high and low for a Mini LED monitor of its quality. The closet one, a 32" from Asus, can only reaches 1200nit in peak with 1200 zones, costs 4000 USD. The iPad Pro is a steal.
I had never been bothered with the so called blooming, yet it's my only display capable of reproducing true life brightness and black shades.
I don't own any iPad. Just can't justify the purchase.
And it would be yet another thing with a purchasing/replacement cycle. Mac (5-6 years) and iPhone (5-6 years, hopefully) and the displays (2x Eizo 3285, hopefully 10 years) are more than enough.
That's why I also don't own an Apple Watch (though I kind-of want to): another thing with a replacement cycle.
And we need to be careful in spotting and accusing blooming effect of the display of big iPad Pro; a lots 'blooming' is of natural or intentional effect.
No, "we" don't.
And it's not intentional, it's just a drawback of current miniLED technology, no one in their sane mind would intentionally design blooming on purpose if it would be possible for it not to be.
My guess is it's probably going to start at $999 for 11.1 in, and go up to $1099-1199 for 13 inch. iPad Air will probably go up to ~$700-800 (hopefully with more than 64gb storage though). 11th-gen iPad will be $500-600 (again, please give at least 128gb for that price) and Mini will be $50 more than that.
I really, really hope the prices will be lower though. The only point of having as many product tiers as we have now is to give options for every price point. If this happens, I don't think we can count any iPad as affordable. Maybe they keep on the 10th gen and lower the price to make up for it (but then, we'd have the ridiculous Apple Pencil situation for another year).

You have free healthcare don’t you? Living in the USA where our electronics are cheaper, we pay thro the nose to see doctors, get meds, and hospitals are insanely expensive.
The 12.9in already starts at £1,250 here. The £/$ exchange rate has improved since then so hopefully that partially offsets the price rise. I love my 2018 12.9in iPad but the new ones offer absolutely nothing over my 5 year old iPad. Just shows how much Apple has neglected it. I think i'll run it into the ground and buy a cheaper one. Apple doesn't deserve more than £700 for an iPad, OLED or not.
It’s not free no, we just don’t pay a specific fee or insurance for it. The cost is absorbed as we earn.
The iPad is my only personal computer at home and I wouldn’t consider paying more than £600. I keep my iPads for 5 years or so but only use it as a media consumption device really. You’re right they haven’t changed an awful lot in many years and essentially do the same thing.
No they don’t have “free” healthcare, they pay through the nose for everything and have higher taxes than we do to pay for it. It’s possible that it is a wash or that they pay more for it than we do.
I think when you look at it split down, we probably pay less in Europe. Factor in those deductibles cover a lot of things not just healthcare.
