The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the iPad lineup is overdue for a refresh and citing rumors from various sources without providing any evidence or context. This statement assumes that the rumors are accurate and reliable, which may not be true. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing OLED displays as offering more vivid colors and faster response times compared to LCD screens, implying that these features are superior in some way without providing any evidence or context. The article also contains a dichotomous depiction of the iPad Air by stating that it will be larger than the current size while still using an LED-based display instead of transitioning to technologies like mini-LED or OLED, which creates a false comparison between two different screen technologies without providing any evidence or context. Finally, the article contains several examples where statements are made about future products and their features without providing any evidence or context.
