iPad Air 6 mini-LED display rumors were premature, but a mystery 12.9-inch tablet is tipped for a late-2024 launch instead

IPad Air with Magic Keyboard.

As Apple readies the new iPad Air 6 and OLED iPad Pro launches on May 7, the rumors continue to fly. We're just a couple of weeks out from the big day, but the new iPad Air is causing a lot of confusion. One analyst recently claimed that Apple's 12.9-inch iPad Air — a hotly anticipated addition to the lineup — would sport a mini-LED display just like the outgoing M2 iPad Pro. But, it turns out, that isn't the case at all.

The report, which came via the well-connected display supply chain analyst Ross Young, has now been retracted via a paywalled follow-up post on the X social network. Young now says that the original sources were incorrect and that additional sources believe something else is afoot. There is a new 12.9-inch mini-LED display floating around, but it won't be for the new iPad Air.
