Now delayed until 2027, rumor mill reckons.)
Apple MacBook Pro models with OLED screens have been delayed to 2027, we’re told in a new report – although the iPad Pro is still on target to get these fancy displays next year.
The report is from Korean tech site The Elec (via 9 to 5 Mac), a source of a good many hardware rumors, and it cites Omdia, a market research firm that made these revelations at a recent conference.
The theory as mentioned is that the first OLED MacBook is not going to pitch up for four years yet – a long old wait indeed – although we must sprinkle this with plenty of seasoning, and remember it’s just a prediction anyway.
Previously, Omdia notes that the expectation for OLED-toting MacBook Pro models was that they should turn up in 2026, but seemingly that has been pushed back another year.
The better news from this crystal ball gazing session is that Apple is on schedule to bring OLED to the iPad Pro next year, both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch models.
We’re told that mass production of those iPads will kick off in Q1 of 2024.
