Apple is preparing to introduce its first MacBook Pro models with organic-light-emitting-diode screens in late 2026, according to a report from Korean trade publication Dealsite that was echoed by multiple specialist outlets on 7 August. The report says Samsung Display has secured an exclusive contract to supply the panels and has invested in eighth-generation (Gen 8.6) OLED production lines, which use larger glass substrates suitable for notebooks. Samsung aims to process about 15,000 sheets a month—enough for roughly 10 million MacBook Pro displays a year, twice Apple’s expected requirement—while incorporating oxide thin-film transistor technology to reduce power consumption. A shift to OLED would give the MacBook Pro brighter screens, deeper blacks and improved energy efficiency compared with today’s mini-LED models, and could allow Apple to eliminate the current ‘notch’ in favour of a pill-shaped camera cut-out similar to the iPhone’s Dynamic Island. The move would also extend Apple’s adoption of OLED beyond the iPhone and iPad, tightening Samsung’s grip on the high-end notebook panel market even as rivals LG Display and China’s BOE court future iPad orders.
