Apple announce new devices yesterday, powered by its latest M5 chipset, including a new Vision Pro VR headset and new iPad Pro tablets. Interestingly, all the devices use the same OLED screens as the previous editions.
We'll start with the new M5 iPad Pro (2025) devices, that indeed have the same same Ultra Retina tandem OLED panels used in the 2024 iPad Pro tablets - 11" 1668x2420 or 13" 2064x2752 and offer 120H and 1600 nits peak brightness.
The Apple Vision Pro M5 (2025) VR headset also has the same hardware as in the original 2023 Vision Pro (except the new M5 chipset), with the same 1.41" 4K (3660x3200) Sony OLED microdisplays. The M5 chipset is able to render 10% more pixels, though, and it also enabled Apple to increase the refresh rate to 120Hz. The Vision Pro M5 also retains the external OLED display produced by LGD, to simulate the user's eyes (reverse passthrough).
It is great to see Apple refresh its OLED product line, but it's a shame that it did not upgrade the specifications of any of these displays. A few days ago we posted an article discussing Apple's decision to only do a light refresh to its VR headset, and what it means for OLED microdisplay makers.
