Cada modelo de iPad que Apple ha ido lanzando al mercado ha resultado tener algún que otro problema –ya sea relacionado con alguno de sus componentes de hardware o con aspectos de software– y es algo totalmente natural, there is only a dispositivo tan complejo nunca alcanzará la perfection.
To cite a recent example, the 2018 iPad Pro suffered from a rather curious problem, which was that after continued use of the tablet, its case tended to bend relatively easily. While this did not happen in all cases, as it depended a lot on the usage habits of each user, the problem arose because Apple introduced one of the iPads with the smallest thickness in history.
Now, with the new iPad Pro line of 2021, a large number of users have started to report an issue with the screen of tablets. This is a problem commonly referred to as “Blossoming”, and what appears to be affects all models with a 12.9-inch screen.
What is “to flower”?
“Blooming” or “clouding” is a term used to describe a problem with screens in which there is a color leak the backlight.
This white backlight usually appears when the screen displays dark colors, and can be seen especially in low ambient light conditions.
In other words, it’s a problem with the screens they appear in white light effects around images that contrast with a dark colored background.
You can see a clear example in this Macrumors image:
This is how the “bloom” affects the XDR display of the iPad Pro 2021
Remember that this is the first time that Apple has implemented mini-LED technology in the screens of its iPad Pro. By adopting this new technology, the Cupertino company will have had to face several problems that affect the screen, including “blooming”.
Mini-LED XDR displays on 12.9-inch iPad Pro models show white backlight leakage in images with a black background or dark tones. From Apple, they ensure that the effect is very minimized.
The signature of the Bitten Apple logo indicated that its Liquid Retina XDR displays are designed to improve the drawbacks of systems where the extreme brightness of the LEDs could cause a slight “blooming” effect, suggesting that the effect is being minimized.
“The Liquid Retina XDR display improves decompensation in dimming systems, where the extreme brightness of the LEDs can cause a slight bloom effect because the LED areas are larger than the size of the LCD pixel.”
A user named Josh Tener explained the issue in detail on Twitter.
After spending 24 hours with it I can safely say #MiniLED is NOT display technology #Apple will probably last for the iPad in the long run. OLED is far superior with image quality. It’s definitely an improvement, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not a good OLED level.

Josh Teder pointed out that his experience of “blooming” on the screens of the new iPad Pro with the M1 processor is much more clearly appreciated in dark rooms and with images with a dark background. According to him, this is something I expected with this technology, but I was still disappointed considering that it came from the use of OLED technology.
“After spending 24 hours with it, I can say with certainty that the mini-LED is not the display technology that Apple is going to keep in the long term with its iPads.”
OLED technology is far superior to mini-LED technology, but Apple is not yet ready for this change. Have you bought a new iPad Pro from 2021? Have you noticed a problem with the display of images on the screen?
