Display8.3-inch Liquid Retina; 2266 × 1488, 326 ppi; 500 nits

The diagonal is measured as a rectangle; rounded corners make the visible area smaller. An independent teardown describes the panel as 60 Hz IPS; Apple’s spec page gives no refresh rate.

Apple		8.3-inch Liquid Retina, LED-backlit IPS; 2266 × 1488 pixels, 326 ppi; wide colour (P3), True Tone, fully laminated
