Apple has long been rumored to launch its first MacBook Pro with OLED display in 2026. Now, according to Fresh Leaks, the Samsung is helping the company bring this display on the table. A report by the Korean outlet dealsite.co.kr claims that the Samsung display has received a special supply contract for OLED panels that will power the upcoming high end laptops of Apple.

The next generation MacBook Pro model is expected to mark Apple’s ongoing change in OLED display technology from Apple’s LED, which offer significant upgrades in both performance quality and power efficiency. The report stated that Samsung General is investing heavily in 8.6 OLED production lines, especially sewn for large equipment such as laptops and monitors. The investment company is allowing Apple’s demand scale and quality requirements to be allowed as a major supplier.

General 8.6 OLED panel for MacBook

In terms of the technology behind the OLED display, Samsung’s genes 8.6 OLED panels use large glass substrate and integrate oxide TFT (thin-film transistor) backplane technology. It supports both scalability and low power consumption. As a result, these OLED panels are expected to expect to reduce manufacturing costs by enabling bright, sharper displays with deep opposite ratio in future Mac.

OLED performance without notch?

Another description of the dealtual report shows that Apple McBook can also re -design the front display area of the Pro. This claims that the new OLED model may have a pill-shaped or hole-piercing cutout, which may potentially ate the controversial notch introduced in 2021. This change may pave the way for the MacBook version of the dynamic island of the iPhone, or something similar.

OLED MacBook Launch Timeline

Now the official timeline of MacBook Pro with OLED display is widely anticipated. Research firms like Ompdia have first indicated on the timeline of 2026. While Omdia did not specify that OLED technology would make her debut on MacBook Pro or Standard MacBook, most analysts agree that Apple’s premium will be the first to show up the upgrade upgrade, before the technology eventually falls down to models like Macbook Air.

Conversely, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg also recently stated that no MAC is expected to receive an M5 chip update in 2025, fueling rumors that OLED MacBook Pro could be delayed by 2027 as they are likely to come up with M6 chip. However, there are also reports that Apple may launch M5 MacBook professionals in early 2026, followed by OLED models equipped with the next-jewelery M6 chips in the same year.

He said, such a timeline will be unusual for Apple, which usually avoids several hardware refreshing in a year. So we will either get the M5 MacBook Pro by the end of 2025, followed by OLED MacBook in 2026. Or OLED MACS with M6 chip can come up to 2027. Or maybe the Apple decides to launch M5 MACS with OLED display. overall. only time will tell.
