According to the forecasts of well-known analysts, the MacBook Pro line will not receive OLED displays until 2026. According to Ross Young and Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will continue to use mini-LED panels next year.

Here's What We Know

Rumours about the transition of MacBook Pro to OLED displays have been circulating for several months, but new data suggests that this will not happen before 2026. Analysts confirm that in 2025, the MacBook Pro will remain on mini-LED displays, and OLED models should be expected later.

OLED displays will bring significant improvements over mini LED technology. They will provide almost infinite contrast, faster response times and richer colours, and will also allow for thinner displays. This could lead to an overall thinner MacBook Pro design, as previously speculated.

However, OLED displays do have disadvantages, including the risk of burn-in, which can be problematic for professional users who often store static elements on their screens. It will be interesting to see how Apple addresses these issues, given the high cost of the Pro laptops.
