Watching movies on my iPhone 17 pro max and I notice how much clearer the picture is when compared to my iPad mini or Mac book air. I see that the iPad Pro has an even clearer screen than the iPhone 17 pro. How is it like? With iPhone I only have brightest up halfway and the picture is clearer and brighter than both MacBook Air and iPad Mini. With such better hardware I wonder why this iPad model would be slumping in sales especially since the air model has the same type of screen as the mini!

I have the 13" M5 Pro, 16 Pro Max, and Mini 6. The 13" Pro display is beautiful, comparable in quality to my 65" LG C5 OLED display. It is great for streaming content, especially 4K HDR from Apple. The Mini has a poor display compared to my other devices.

Not just the mini but even MacBook Air’s screen is not as nice as iPad Pro,
 
The iPP M4/M5 has a Tandem oled display (dual stack compared to the iphones single stack oled) with very high brightness hence the clearer, better display that you are noticing. Apple market it as their most advanced display and it is tbh, the best in the industry.
 
iPad Pro screen is incredible. to me, it's well worth it to pay extra over the other iPads. I've had the entry level and the Air and once you go Pro its hard to use the others.
 
The screen is great, but at the end of the day an iPad is an iPad. If I want a Mac, OLED isn't gonna make me buy an iPad Pro instead.
 
Are there any screen that on laptops that can compare to the M4 13” iPad Pro? I’m looking for one, but it’ll likely be hard to replace my iPad Pro (keeping it).
