Overview
- Apple is testing OLED versions of the iPad mini, iPad Air, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
- The iPad mini is likely to move to OLED as soon as 2026 and is being explored with a more water‑resistant design that uses a vibration‑based speaker to eliminate open holes.
- Gurman reports the OLED iPad mini could cost about $100 more than the current model.
- The next iPad Air expected in spring 2026 will retain an LCD, with an OLED version not anticipated before 2027.
- OLED is planned for a redesigned MacBook Pro tied to the M6 generation around 2027, with a MacBook Air OLED not expected until 2028 at the earliest and no OLED planned for the entry‑level iPad.
