When will Apple release the first MacBook with an OLED screen?

Why choose OLED?

Currently, Apple sells MacBooks with LCD or mini-LED displays. The MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro use LCD screens. The 14-inch and 16-inch versions of MacBook Pro use mini-LED screens. As we've noted before, many have questions about why Apple plans to transition to OLED more than a year after releasing the first MacBook Pro with mini-LED.

To review, mini-LED is an alternative to OLED that is worse in some ways but better in others. Many experts will tell you that an OLED screen is better than mini-LED because it has better black levels. This is because the pixels themselves are what produce the light, so when those pixels need to be darkened, they can be turned off completely.

But unlike the iPad series, where the iPad Pro will swap its mini-LED screen for an OLED as early as next year, the situation is different on the MacBook side.

The first MacBook with an OLED screen

#According to current rumors, the first MacBook to switch to an OLED display will be the MacBook Air. Meanwhile, the MacBook Pro is expected to retain its mini-LED display for a while.

This was recently reported by reliable Apple analyst Ross Young. According to Young, the MacBook Air will be the first Mac to switch to an OLED display. According to analysts, an OLED-equipped MacBook Air could be released as soon as sometime in 2024.

In addition, Ming-Chi Kuo also reported that the first OLED MacBook will be released "at the earliest" in 2024. In particular, Kuo explains why the MacBook Air will be the first to switch to OLED, rather than the MacBook Pro. "Compared with mini-LED, laptops using OLED have the advantage of being thinner and lighter, and offer more diverse form factor design options," Kuo said.

Being as thin and light as possible is far more important for MacBook Air than for MacBook Pro. This allows Apple to focus on upgrading the MacBook Air's display technology first, before moving on to the MacBook Pro (which already has an impressive display in its own right).

According to reports, the MacBook Air will use an OLED technology called "tandem stacking." This is a cutting-edge OLED technology that extends display life, improves power efficiency and increases brightness.

One thing to remember: Branding can be tricky here. This may not end up being released as a "MacBook Air." It could be labeled a "MacBook," or even the new 13-inch variant of the MacBook Pro. What is certain, however, is that the first MacBook with an OLED display will be some kind of 13-inch model.
