According to information shared today by Ross Young, CEO of research firm Display Supply Chain Consultants, Apple’s first MacBook Pro models with OLED displays are still at least three years away from launching.

On a display-related webinar with Bloomberg Intelligence’s Woo Jin Ho, Young said it will take a few years for Apple’s supply chain partners to build out manufacturing lines for mass production of laptop-sized OLED panels, so he does not expect MacBook Pro models with OLED displays to launch until 2026 or 2027.
Compared to current MacBook Pro models with LCD screens, benefits of OLED technology would include increased brightness, higher contrast ratio with deeper blacks, improved power efficiency for longer battery life, and more.
MacDailyNews Note: Young also reiterated that Apple’s next-gen iPad Pro models expected in 2024 will have OLED displays vs. current models that offer LED backlit Multi‑Touch display with IPS technology (11-inch iPad Pro, Liquid Retina display) and mini-LED backlit Multi‑Touch display with IPS technology (12.9-inch model, Liquid Retina XDR display).

I am really hoping that by 2027 the MacBook Pro versions will come with a micro LED display!
Honestly, how much better can a screen get? You don’t miss what you don’t have and right now the MacBook Pro screens are awesome to do ANYTHING.
What I don’t want to wait for in 2026 or 2027 is the M3 chip and fingers crossed for a release before Christmas. Would prefer Apple updates its M-Chips YEARLY as they do for iPhones every September. People know in advance what to expect and when to plan their purchases…
