Apple is widely expected to expand OLED display technology to the iPad Pro as soon as next year, but it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for an OLED MacBook Pro.
Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, said in a recent webinar with Bloomberg that Apple is not likely to release an OLED MacBook Pro until 2026 or 2027. The reason for the delay is that the manufacturers of OLED panels need to set up dedicated production lines for laptop-sized panels, and that will take some time.
Young’s predictions corroborate with previous information from The Elec, which also reported that the OLED MacBook Pro had been delayed to 2027.
OLED displays offer a number of advantages over LCD displays, including better brightness and contrast, deeper blacks, and improved power efficiency. This makes them a good fit for the MacBook Pro, which is Apple’s flagship laptop lineup.
However, since OLED displays are not expected to be available on MacBook Pros anytime soon, we can only wait. Thankfully, the current displays on MacBook Pros are already very good, so this isn’t a dire situation at all.
Despite the delay in OLED MacBook Pros, Young said that Apple is still on track to release OLED iPads next year. He also said that the first iPad Air and iPad mini models with OLED displays are not expected to launch until 2026.
