Taiwan-based suppliers Ennostar Inc, General Interface Solution Holding Ltd and Taiwan Surface Mounting Technology Corp are among the key providers of MiniLED technology. The new iPad Pro models will be Apple's first major hardware launch of 2021 and will add to a product line that has performed particularly well as people increasingly work and study from home. Beyond the new display, Apple plans to add a much faster processor on par with the custom M1 chip in its latest Macs, a faster USB-C port that's compatible with a wider range of accessories and monitors and improved cameras. The iPad generated US$8.4 billion in revenue for Apple during the holiday quarter of 2020, the most since 2014. As students and workers begin gradually returning to schools and offices, Apple will be betting on the upgraded iPad models to maintain interest in its tablet line. BLOOMBERG
