Remember when the first rumors about an OLED screen upgrade for the MacBook Pro surfaced? It’s been about two years since then. During that time, Apple introduced OLED panels on the iPad Pro but held off on bringing the same technology to its flagship laptops. Now, it appears the wait may finally be coming to an end, possibly next year or shortly thereafter.
According to Bloomberg, a new MacBook Pro with an OLED display is very likely in development and could be available soon. The publication suggests that the revamped model might arrive sometime between late 2026 and early 2027, potentially featuring the upcoming M6 chip.
When Apple unveiled the redesigned MacBook Pro with the notch, speculation was rampant that it would finally transition from LCD to OLED displays. Instead, Apple opted to equip these laptops with mini-LED screens, similar to those on the iPad Pro, providing impressive contrast and brightness but not the true black levels of OLED.
If the reports are accurate, MacBook Pro enthusiasts could be enjoying OLED screens by late 2026 or early 2027. It’s also worth noting that Apple is planning to release several M5-series Macs next year, according to sources, which could affect the timing of the OLED rollout.
Depending on how the launch timeline unfolds, the introduction of the M6 series might be pushed into 2027, unless Apple accelerates its plans to update its lineup within the coming year. While less likely, such a scenario isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility.
Looking ahead, the next-generation MacBook Pro is expected to be more than just an OLED upgrade. Bloomberg has previously reported that Apple plans to redesign the chassis, which could mean a significant overhaul of the device’s look and feel. The company’s approach to the new design could be an exciting development for users eager for a fresh look.
The chip development is already underway under the code name “Komodo,” with the possibility of a future M7 (Borneo) and an even more advanced processor named Sotra. Rumors also suggest that a 5G-enabled version might be on the horizon, incorporating the same kind of cellular tech used in the latest iPhones, specifically the in-house C1 modem present in the iPhone 16e.
In summary, a true revival of the MacBook Pro could be on the horizon, with a stunning OLED display and a sleek new design. With Apple continuously working on new silicon and hardware features, the upcoming models are shaping up to be significant upgrades in both performance and aesthetics.
