Apple recently released the new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models with improved internals. However, while the processor remains common on both sizes, only the 12.9-inch iPad Pro model features a mini-LED panel. While the new hardware is a welcome addition and we are all eyes for it, it does pose a question as to why the 11-inch iPad Pro model is left out of the mini-LED goodness? Well, Apple has some answers that you might want to check out.

In a new YouTube video, Brian Tong sat down with Apple's Scott Broderick and Vincent Gu from iPad Product Marketing and Display engineering, respectively. Apple's executives discussed the new iPad Pro models with Tong which includes the display technology and the new M1 chip along with the Thunderbolt ports and battery. Tong asked why Apple decided to incorporate a mini-LED display in the 12.9-inch and left the 11-inch iPad Pro with the previous-gen display.
