Apple still faces production issues for 12.9-inch iPad Pro due to complex display technology

It is being reported that the supply constraints for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro still persist and might delay its shipment further.

Apple continues to face production issues with the mini-LED display technology supposed to power its 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The component is the single biggest reason why the new variant of iPad Pro is facing shipment delays. Apple introduced two new iPad Pro models last month, both of which are powered by the company’s M1 chipset. The smaller 11-inch variant comes with an LED-backlit Liquid Retina display that is found on, the earlier models of iPad Pro as well. The display is readily available, and hence supply for the iPad Pro 11-inch model is maintained. The case, however, is different from the 12.9-inch iPad Pro model, which uses a mini-LED backlit Liquid Retina display. A Bloomberg report highlights that Apple suppliers are finding it difficult to make the mini-LED display technology in large quantities. This is significantly delaying production and shipments of the iPad Pro model to Apple’s global markets.
