Both sizes are tipped for OLED in the first half of 2027, though earlier reporting points to 60Hz.
Both iPad Air sizes could swap LCD for OLED in the first half of 2027. The reported single-stack design would resemble the iPad mini's. Earlier reporting points to 60Hz, so the Air could get new screen technology without budging its refresh-rate ceiling.

Both iPad Air sizes could swap LCD for OLED in the first half of 2027, according to a DigiTimes supply-chain report described by MacRumors. AppleInsider identifies the anticipated models as the 11-inch and 13-inch versions. Source Source
MacRumors says both sizes of the current M4 iPad Air use LCD screens. The switch would make the Air Apple's third iPad line to adopt OLED, following the iPad Pro in 2024 and the OLED iPad mini that went on sale November 6. Source
MacRumors notes that earlier DigiTimes reporting pointed to the OLED Air staying at 60Hz, or 60 screen refreshes a second. The iPad Pro's ProMotion display can adjust from 10Hz to 120Hz. An OLED invitation apparently doesn't include access to the whole Pro lounge.
The Air's rumored OLED panel would also use a single light-emitting stack, like the iPad mini's, according to MacRumors' account of DigiTimes. The Pro uses two stacks to boost brightness. Source
Samsung Display is expected to supply most of the Air's panels. BOE is seeking orders for one of the two sizes but still needs to qualify as a supplier, MacRumors reports. Industry estimates cited in the same account put 2027 iPad Air shipments at 4 million to 5 million units across both sizes combined. Source
MacRumors, AppleInsider and 9to5Mac all cite the same DigiTimes report, so the coverage traces back to one supply-chain account. The articles offer no price, firm release date or Apple confirmation of the rumored models. Source Source Source
