This year, Apple equipped the iPad Pro with a brand new OLED screen and there is a chance that more Apple products will make the switch. For example, the MacBook Pro is probably the next device that will be equipped with an OLED display.
It is still unclear exactly when, and various analysts do not yet agree. For example, some sources speak of 2025, while other rumors point to 2027. We do know one thing: it is almost certain that the MacBook Pro will be equipped with an OLED screen in the future.
OLED for MacBook Pro
When will the first MacBook with an OLED screen appear? Analysts and experts do not yet agree on this. They know one thing for sure, the first Mac with OLED will be a MacBook Pro, but the big question is when.
So expected Omnia that the 16-inch and 14-inch model will switch to OLED in 2026, while the Korean ETNews says the 16-inch model will get an OLED display as early as 2025. Finally, the reliable reports screen analyst Ross Young 2026 or 2027 as date. So wait and see.
Ultra Retina XDR display
Just like the iPad Pro, the MacBook Pro may be equipped with an Ultra Retina XDR display. This display is the most advanced in the world and uses tandem OLED technology. This combines the light from two OLED panels, resulting in a fantastically clear image.
For example, the new iPad Pro can display SDR and HDR content with a full-screen brightness of up to 1000 nits, and HDR content with a peak brightness of 1600 nits. Tandem OLED technology provides extreme control over the color and brightness of each pixel, making the image incredibly accurate.
For the first time, you can equip the iPad Pro’s display with nano-textured glass. This glass is etched on a nanometer scale and has a frosted effect. In this way, the contrast and image quality are maintained, while at the same time the ambient light is scattered so that you are less bothered by reflection. It is expected that the MacBook Pro can also be equipped with a nano-textured screen.
