With a significant overhaul, Apple unveiled the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. Compared to the LCD, the devices’ miniLED display provides a better viewing experience. The business intends to offer OLED MacBook Pro variants in the future, so it won’t stay with the miniLED display for long. The corporation is allegedly developing OLED MacBook Pro versions, which were supposed to go on sale in 2026. According to a recent source, the corporation may have delayed the introduction by a year.
Apple’s OLED iPad Pro models with M3 CPUs are expected to go on sale early next year, as we recently revealed. The launch dates have been advanced by a year, though. Initial rumours suggested that the business might introduce its OLED MacBook Pro versions in 2026. The Elec reports that the device is expected to debut in 2027.
The company presently offers MacBook models with two different display options: miniLED and LCD. Note that only the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models include a miniLED display. Despite being an improvement over LCD, there are still several ways in which miniLED displays fall short of OLED screens. OLED panels, for instance, use less electricity, which can lengthen the machine’s battery life. OLED displays also offer deeper blacks and improved colour accuracy because only the active pixels are illuminated.
Along with the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro, Apple’s new 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch MacBook Air models have an LCD
The corporation will eventually go from LCD or miniLED to OLED, but it won’t stay on that bandwagon for very long. This is a result of the company’s ongoing work on its unique microLED displays. The Apple Watch Ultra, which is scheduled to be on sale in 2027, will be the first Apple product to use a microLED. The iPhone, iPad, and MacBooks will soon feature the new display technology that the business is introducing.
The brightness levels of microLED displays are comparable to those of miniLED displays, but they have better colour accuracy and deeper blacks. Since the OLED MacBook Pro models are still on backorder, the microLED option might not be available for several years.
