and apart from the new M4 chip, which is pretty interesting in its own right, the highlight is undoubtedly its new dual-layer OLED display, known in Apple parlance as Tandem OLED. Capable of 1,000 nits sustained full-screen brightness and 1,600 nits peak HDR, it blows away anyFor starters, the Tandem OLED panel uses two OLED panels stacked atop one another. Current PC OLED monitors are expensive enough with just one. The cost of two panels in one monitor doesn't bear thinking about.
What's more, it's also worth considering whether the achievement of 1,000 nits full-screen for a PC monitor even makes sense. A device like an iPad needs to work well in a much broader range of settings and scenarios than a desktop monitor or arguably even a laptop screen. Likewise, in a normal indoor setting, the return in terms of perceived brightness doesn't scale linearly with the nit rating. A screen with double the nit rating doesn't subjectively look twice as bright, more like 25%.
