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		12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR; mini LED with 2596 local dimming zones; 2732 × 2048, 264 ppi; ProMotion; P3; True Tone

Local dimming zones deepen blacks; a faint halo can appear around bright text on a black background.
