What do you mean, the iPad mini has a higher ppi (326) vs iPad Air (264).

I think the issue is that, iPad OS is scaling the display to a weird resolution.

It's much less bright than the iPad Pro and iPhone in daylight. In a bright day it's barely visible.

And adding OLED would make it the great for nighttime reading.

Probably a 120hz screen like the Pro has

  • Then it’d also get the IPad Pro price?

    • 120hz panels are dirt cheap at this point, look beyond the Apple ecosystem and they're everywhere at nearly every price point. Even barebones office monitors meant for doing spreadsheets are often ~100hz now, there's no reason to make them 60hz when faster panels are more or less the same price.
