Applemay finally be includingOLEDdisplays in upcomingMacBook Prolaptops, according to the latest rumors out there.

According to long-time Apple insiderMing-Chi Kuo, the switch in display technology would hinge on the iPad’s adoption of OLED. Right now, Apple is one of the only laptop manufacturers that hasn’t introduced OLED displays in any of its products.

I think the release date of the OLED MacBook is mainly dependent on the schedule of iPad’s adoption of OLED. MacBook would use OLED in 2025 at the earliest if Apple could successfully release 12.9-inch & 11-inch OLED iPads in 2024.March 17, 2022

In his tweet, Kuo suggests the “MacBook would use OLED in 2025 at the earliest if Apple could successfully release 12.9-inch & 11-inch OLED iPads in 2024.” This does line up withearlier rumors, which also claim that Apple could release both a 10.9-inch and a12.9-inch iPad Prousing an OLED display.

These previous rumors have hinted at an OLED MacBook Pro for a while, while conflicting reports claim the launch to be either in 2022 or 2025. Regardless of the actual launch date, both rumors seem to point atSamsung being the keyto Apple embracing OLED for its laptop display.

However, if Apple does release an OLED laptop in 2022, it would be a perfect match for theM2 chipthat we’ve all been waiting for. That would certainly allow Apple to account for a higher display resolution, too. Just imagine — a4KOLED MacBook Pro.

But as always, this is all mere conjecture so until Apple officially announces anything take it all with a huge pinch of salt.
