According to technology market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the MacBook Air laptop will receive an OLED screen only 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 predictions regarding Apple's supply chain.
MacBook Pro first with OLED
Before OLED technology reaches the MacBook Air, Apple plans to implement it in the MacBook Pro model. According to forecasts, new displays may appear in this series as early as the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027. Interestingly, in addition to the OLED itself, the MacBook Pro may also receive a touch panel, which would represent a significant shift in Apple's approach to laptops. The company has avoided introducing touchscreens in Mac computers for years.
Apple often introduces new technologies first in its more expensive models. This was the case with Retina displays and ProMotion technology, which first appeared in MacBook Pros. A second reason is cost. OLED panels are more expensive to produce than the LCD displays currently used in MacBook Airs. Therefore, Apple must maintain an appropriate cost level to keep the laptop price-competitive.
If analysts' forecasts prove correct, users planning to purchase a MacBook Air in the near future should not postpone their decision solely due to 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. We will first see it in MacBook Pro models, 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.
