While this is just rumor and nothing is officially confirmed, Ross Young has been coming out with confirmed updates, so we have very little room to doubt this. These Mini LED panels that will be used in the new MacBook Pro is said to be provided by LG Display and Sharp. This same company supplied the panels for the 12.7-inc iPad Pro.

The Apple iPad Pro 2021 was the first to come with a Mini LED display. Mini LED displays feature thousands of tiny LEDs to offer vastly superior contrast, higher brightness, and improved HDR performance compared to traditional LCDs. This is different from traditional LCDs that only have anywhere between dozens and a few hundred local dimming zones.
With the Apple Mac Unleash Event just few days away, we’ll soon get to know more about the specifications and display of the new MacBook Pro.
