On May 14, Tinydeal reported that some new OLED iPad Pro models are facing an iPad Pro OLED issue when displaying HDR content with specific blue tones. According to iMore, this problem causes certain blue colors to overexpose HDR highlights, making them appear almost white, accompanied by visible compression artifacts in sample images.
Images provided by iMore show that certain blue tones, like deep navy and indigo, can cause HDR highlights to overexpose. This overexposure makes the highlights appear almost white on the screen. The issue is most visible on characters wearing dark blue shirts. In such cases, the folds shimmer, resembling a spider web on the surface. At times, it looks like clumps of ink deforming across the fabric.
iMore notes this issue occurs only in very specific circumstances. It has not been observed on other OLED devices, such as the iPhone 15 Pro. Furthermore, the problem is mostly unnoticeable, and the exact cause of its occurrence is currently unknown.
Apple has confirmed to iMore that they know the issue and are working on a software update to fix it. As the repair work progresses, this issue affecting the user viewing experience is expected to be resolved soon.
The new generation iPad Pro OLED issue was officially released on the evening of May 7. In addition to the M4 chip, the double-layer series OLED screen it is equipped with has also attracted much attention. With the support of new screen technology, the new iPad Pro achieves a global brightness of up to 1,000 nits and an extreme local brightness of 1,600.
