> The 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display has an IPS LCD panel supporting a resolution of 2732x2048 pixels for a total of 5.6 million pixels with 264 pixels per inch. [1]

"Liquid Retina XDR" is just a high end LCD. Micro LED isn't yet on anything they sell. All apple devices phone-size and smaller currently use OLED, and everything larger uses IPS LCD.

I thought Apple also used Mini-LED though, with quite a large amount of zones in comparison to most competitors? At least in the 14 and 16” pro MacBooks?

Yes I’m aware that Mini and Micro-LED are different technology

yes, but the main benefit of more zones is that you can make the display thinner (it is hard to design very thin light pipes for zonal displays). You also get some power saving benefits, and less 'halo-ing' when displaying very bright and very dark things next to eachother.
