Earlier this year, the iPad Air lineup received a minor boost by introducing the new 11- and 13-inch models, both of which retained their Liquid Retina IPS LCDs but with the Apple M2 CPU.


According to a recent South Korean report, an OLED display update for the Air series is anticipated in 2026. TheElec reports that Samsung Display is the primary source for the upcoming iPad Air screens, which will be single-stacked OLED panels rather than the tandem OLED panels featured on the most recent iPad Pros.

The same 2026 release date for the iPad Air OLED is supported by a report from earlier this year, which also raises the possibility of an 8.7-inch OLED iPad Mini.
