2026 MacBook Pro: A Shift to OLED Displays

The anticipated 2026 MacBook Pro redesign aims to introduce an OLED display, marking a notable shift from the current mini-LED technology. This new OLED setup, already showcased in the M4 iPad Pro, utilises stacked layers of organic light-emitting diodes, which can improve brightness and energy efficiency. The transition to OLED not only promises to enhance visual quality but also allows for a thinner laptop, as OLED technology requires less internal space than mini-LED options. Initial plans aimed for a 2025 rollout, but development delays have pushed this significant upgrade back to 2026.
