If you’re thinking of upgrading your old Mac, maybe you should wait a little longer…
Various rumors converge in the same idea regarding the possible launch of a MacBook with OLED screen. If these rumors are true, Apple should already be working on the R&D of the MacBook with an OLED screen. But when does the company plan to launch this product? In this article we will tell you when it will happen, and we will highlight some of its most interesting details.
It seems that the firm with the bitten apple logo plans to make a transition to OLED on all its devices. Currently, all iPhone and Apple Watch models have this technology. But there are some products from the Apple catalog such as the iPad and the Mac that they have not yet adopted OLED panels. It won’t be for long though… Apple has already requested OLED panels for its 2024 iPad Pro from Samsung and LG Display.
What advantages does OLED technology offer in a MacBook?
The current generation of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro incorporate screens with LCD or mini-LED panels. While the 13-inch models still use LCD screens, the 14-inch and 16-inch models have been updated with mini-LED technology.
As they tell us from 9to5mac, mini-LED technology has some advantages and disadvantages over OLED screens. But still OLED panels are still superior thanks to the purity of its blacks and its great energy efficiency. Also, the panels are thinner and lighter.
Compared to LCD screens, OLED screens have a higher color accuracya wider viewing angle, pure blacks, more contrast and more brightness. The change in the MacBook product category will definitely come in handy.
When will the first MacBook with an OLED screen be introduced?

For his part, Ross Young also has confirmed the information, ensuring that Apple will present a MacBook in 2024 along with an iPad Pro, with both products having OLED screens.
