Apple is getting all set to launch a new series of devices in March and the most expected ones among them are the new Macbook and iPads. This year, the company has made a lot of changes to their devices in terms of design and features as well. One of the prominent changes that one can expect to appear in the devices is the outer design of the body that will be influenced by the iPhone 12 series and the inclusion of new display technology to make the devices a lot more power-efficient. 

Leaked reports in the market from the last couple of months have already stated that Apple will be using the Mini-LED display for its upcoming products. The same technology for display is expected to be used in the new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro this year. Now new details have surfaced online which states that one of the iPad models that will be launched next year will have an OLED panel. This will make a lot of sense as the Mini-LED display was said to be the beginning of Apple adopting the OLED technology for displays. 

The same details were also leaked before with the details that Apple will be launching the OLED display iPad in 2021, but now it seems that we will have to wait until 2021 for the same. Experts believe that Apple could be using the same technology for Macbooks in the future as well. There is currently no confirmation from Apple on the use of OLED display, but it can be a possibility that the use of OLED screens could come up in 2022 or be pushed further back.

A few days back reports came in that LG has put their rollable screen smartphone project on hold and the reason behind this was expected to be their bad performance in the smartphone industry. Now another report has just come in that the company has indefinitely put its V60 successor on hold. LG was about to begin field testing of the phone with the codename Rainbow in March. However, the rumors indicate that they have reportedly ceased communication with local carriers about the release of the Rainbow.

The phone was also rumored to be the first phone from the company in a traditional-looking smartphone factor, which was powered using the Snapdragon 888 chipset and also came with the support for a stylus. This is not the first project the company has recently put on hold, and this is not a good sign for the smartphone segment for LG. The rumors also suggested in the past that LG is looking to sell off its smartphone segment of the business as it has not been performing well over the last few years.

The hold on the rollable screen project confirmed that the company is not going to invest further in the project as they are not interested in adding more resources to the smartphone business. However, the hold on another project almost confirms that we are soon going to see the sell-off for their smartphone business. We might see more reports about the same in the future until final confirmation of the sell-off comes in.
