The move to Mini LED for the 12.9" iPad Air would give it lower power consumption, better brightness for HDR content and deeper blacks compared to the IPS LCD tech inside the current iPad Air.
Apple apparently had some leftover Mini LED panels produced for the current-gen 12.9" iPad Pro that it now plans on using for the Air, which makes sense considering how bad its tablet sales have been in recent months.
The upcoming larger iPad Air model will allow those wanting a 12.9" Apple tablet to acquire one at a lower cost compared to the Pro, potentially boosting sales for the Air line.
Although the upcoming 10.9" iPad Air's display tech remains undisclosed, it may retain IPS LCD panels due to lack of leftover Mini LED panels unless Apple adopts an 11" size for the smaller variant.
