According to technology market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the MacBook Air laptop will only receive an OLED screen around 2028 or 2029. This means that users waiting for such a change will have to be patient. Although Apple has not officially confirmed these plans, Kuo is known for his accurate forecasts regarding Apple's supply chain.
MacBook Pro first with OLED
Before OLED technology makes its way to the MacBook Air, Apple plans to implement it in the MacBook Pro model. According to forecasts, the new displays may arrive in this series as early as late 2026 or early 2027. Interestingly, in addition to the OLED itself, the MacBook Pro may also receive a touch panel, which would be a significant shift in Apple's approach to laptops. The company has avoided introducing touch screens in Macs for years.
Apple often rolls out new technologies first in its more expensive models. This was also the case with Retina displays and ProMotion technology, which first appeared in MacBook Pros. The second reason is cost. OLED panels are more expensive to produce compared to the LCD displays currently used in MacBook Airs. Therefore, Apple must maintain an appropriate cost level to keep the laptop attractive in price.
If analysts' forecasts prove correct, users planning to purchase a MacBook Air in the near future shouldn't delay their decision just because of the upcoming OLED. Waiting even a few years for a new type of display may be impractical, especially since current models already offer very good image quality and high performance.
It looks like Apple will introduce OLED technology in laptops in stages. First, we'll see it in the MacBook Pro, and only later in the popular MacBook Air. If analysts' predictions are confirmed, Air users will have to wait for this change until the end of the decade.
