Avoid the grainy display when buying the new iPad
Discussion
It looks like some owners are receiving their new iPads with grainy displays. This is 100% a hardware defect and cannot be fixed with a software update.

This is due to the difference in which manufacturer supplied your iPad's display panel. For these new iPads apple is sourcing the panels from both Samsung and LG. So far the users who have reported the grainy display issues own the models with panels made by Samsung.

Something has changed recently within either Samsung's design or manufacturing process, and all devices with panels manufactured after this change are affected by the grainy display issue/Mura. Some examples of affected devices besides the new iPads include: Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24Ultra, Tab s9.

Some level of grain/mura is inevitable in OLED panels, but as their previous years of Samsung OLED panels have shown these can be minimized to be invisible to the naked eye (unlike what we are seeing now) Samsung has messed something up and they have not corrected it yet nor have issued an official statement.

Until Samsung has addressed this, I wouldn't recommend any device equipped with their new display panels. This should not have gone past Apple quality control either, but maybe noticed it and opted for certain models to have the LG panel to minimize the blow.

TL;DR Request for your iPad to be the model with LG panel to avoid the grainy display

So, how would one know whether their screen was manufactured by LG or Samsung? And please don’t say "if there is graininess, it is Samsung."

Using 13 inch version since day 1. It's LG - it 's grainy as well (according to news from weeks back, LG is supplier of 100% of 13 inch version, for now at least). You won't hide from the issue and honestly I would be really surprised if Apple did anything about it.

The only matter I'm curious about is how much difference in this crap is there between LG vs Samsung.

Not calling you out but are you sure that’s correct? I read a while back that LG are the 11” because Samsung couldn’t yield satisfactory amounts for Apple. I then read that Samsung are 13” and LG are both 11” and 13”. I have 11” without grain, although wish me luck because it arrived with a chip at the bottom of the iPad so awaiting a replacement.

Do the 13 inch models also have this issue? Or the panels for the 13 inch supplied by LG?

Even Apple doesn’t know which iPads have LG or Samsung. Best is to just buy the iPad and take it back if you’re not happy.

If I have to put it in dark mode, open settings menu, and then zoom in with a camera to see it, then it isn't a problem.

I'm one of the guys who posted pics on release day.

This is not a "turn on dark mode and zoom in with the camera" thing. It's clearly visible on a purely white screen at max brightness. The problem is that the only camera I have is an iPhone, which synthetiaclly removes grain from any pictures it takes... so unless you go right up close with the camera, it'll just not show up on pictures at all.

The reason all the pics (or at least the ones I posted) are dark mode is 1. because of this (to make sure it actually shows up in the picture) and 2. I legit had the iPad in dark mode and at that brightness setting at that moment, so I saw no reason to change it. Previous iPads looked brilliant at similar settings. This one looks noticeably worse anytime it's not showing a pitch black screen.
