[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, according to foreign media reports, Apple is planning to upgrade OLED displays for many of its product lines to enhance the visual experience. According to DigiTimes, the upgrade plan will run from 2026 to 2028, covering multiple devices such as iPad mini, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, iMac and MacBook Air.
Previously, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman predicted that the iPad mini and MacBook Pro may use OLED screens as early as this year, but he believes that the MacBook Air will not adopt this technology until 2028 at the earliest. Although the new iPad Air is expected to be released this year, Gurman pointed out that it will still use an LCD screen, and iPad Air models equipped with OLED screens are not expected to appear until 2027 or later. In addition, Korean media The Elec reported last month that Apple is planning to launch a 24-inch iMac with an OLED display in 2027 or 2028.
Based on information from all parties, the estimated timing for upgrading OLED displays for each product line is as follows:
iPad mini: 2026
MacBook Pro: Late 2026 or 2027
iPad Air: 2027
iMac: 2027 or 2028
MacBook Air: 2028
OLED displays are superior to LCD displays in terms of overall picture quality due to their richer colors, higher contrast ratio and ability to present pure blacks. Currently, all new iPhones, Apple Watches and iPad Pros sold by Apple have adopted OLED screens, while the Apple Vision Pro is equipped with a more advanced micro-OLED display.
