According to supply chain analyst Kuo, it could be 2025 for Apple to release the first MacBook with an OLED display. Thanks to OLED technology, we will see thinner and lighter MacBook designs.Thinner, lighter MacBooks are coming
All current MacBooks, including the latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, have an LCD panel with mini-LED backlighting and ProMotion. Unlike mini-LED LCDs, OLED displays have self-leveling pixels and do not require backlighting; which means better contrast ratio and longer battery life.
New iPad Pros with OLED screens are coming
Kuo did not specify whether the MacBook with OLED display will be a Pro or Air model. However, DSCC CEO Ross Young, who has over 25 years of experience in the display industry, said last month that Apple will release the 13-inch MacBook Air model with OLED display in 2024, followed by the new 11.1-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro with OLED displays.
Switching to micro-LED technology in Apple Watches
It looks like it will take a long time for Apple to make the switch to OLED display for Macs and iPads. Meanwhile, the new Apple Watch Ultra is said to have a micro-LED display. Micro-LED technology will offer much higher brightness and better contrast ratio compared to current Apple Watch models with OLED screens.
