Yeah I think you're right. I thought that my iPad had an HDR display (it's got a wide gamut coverage and can show HDR content) but apparently it's not "Apple HDR".

Though - lots of non-OLED/miniLED displays have HDR... why does Apple have a different standard?

I believe they do it this way because they want to be able to display HDR and SDR content on the same display at the same time.

Because their non-hdr displays don't have enough peak brightness for good looking HDR.
