Overview
- Ming-Chi Kuo now expects the MacBook Pro's OLED upgrade to land between late 2026 and early 2027, revising an earlier end‑2026 target.
- The MacBook Air is projected to adopt OLED panels later, around 2028 or 2029, according to the same forecast.
- Reports suggest the next MacBook Pro could also bring a thinner chassis, a touchscreen with a Dynamic Island, and M6 Pro/Max chips manufactured on TSMC’s 2nm process, with possible built‑in cellular.
- Some coverage indicates the OLED-equipped model may carry higher pricing and could be positioned as a new, higher‑end “MacBook Ultra” above the Pro.
- Industry write‑ups caution that these timelines rely on supply‑chain signals and that OLED’s debut on iPad Pro did not trigger a major upgrade cycle, which may temper expectations.
