Mini led is the right choice for the iPad, great video.

What’s even more crazy is that apple has 10000 leds in a 12.9" screen, way more than the 75" mini led tv that is shown in the video, what a great piece of engineering by apple

One bit from the Apple Support document for the iPad Pro XDR display often got missed is that Apple uses the M1 chip’s capability to drive the backlight mini LED arrays as if it’s another screen, so that the backlight matches the image above perfectly.

Imagine such a TV with Apple's Mini LED's density. 200,000 LEDs with 50,000 local dimming zones.

Apple should start producing TVs!

Wow. That is clever. What a way to keep costs down but I wonder what that means for a miniLED MacBook Pro. Does Apple add support for an additional display? Right now the high-end MBP supports 4 displays and the internal Retina display. Would Apple have to support 6 displays to match the Intel MBP?
