+	[* black] To the naked eye, this display [guide\|52599\|doesn't look all that different from previous generations\|stepid=115415\|new_window=true]. And with a resolution of 264 ppi, it's not the first Retina display iPad.
+	[* black] All the same, 120 Hz is a blistering fast refresh rate for this many pixels, which is probably why it needs ''four'' (!) connecting cables. (Its ginormous older brother got by with just two.)
+	[* black] The slimmer bezel and pretty True Tone tech also set this display apart—but all that was listed in the official specs. We're here for the silicon, and after melting off a couple shields, we find:
	[* red] Intersil 248828 R703CM
	[* orange] Parade Technologies DP825 timing controller (likely an upgraded version of Parade ICs we've spotted in previous [guide\|52599\|iPad\|stepid=115421\|new_window=true] [guide\|60939\|Pros\|stepid=127346\|new_window=true])
	[* yellow] Texas Instruments TPS565158
