Apple could transition to using OLED displays for its key products, apart from iPhones, by 2024, starting with three devices. Those products are expected to be a new MacBook Air and new iPad Pros.
Display industry analyst Ross Young, who has provided accurate details on upcoming Apple devices in the past, doubled down on an earlier report about the Apple products to include OLED displays. In a Twitter post to his subscribers on Sunday, he reiterated that Apple is expected to release OLED-equipped MacBook Air, 11-inch iPad Pro, and 12.9-inch iPad Pro in the next two years.
There are no other details provided, but this suggests that Apple’s plans to use OLED panels on a wider range of products are still in motion. From his report last June, Young said a 13.3-inch notebook with OLED could enter the market that year. Now, it appears that the device is looking more likely to be a new version of the MacBook Air.
It would not be much of a surprise for Apple to start with the iPad Pro for its pivot to OLED displays. It can be recalled that the company made the fifth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro its first product with a mini-LED display, which the company calls Liquid Retina XDR, in 2021.
The MacBook Air and iPad Pros are predicted to use two-stack OLEDs that double the red, green, and blue emission layers compared to typical OLED panels. This design is known to deliver higher brightness and improve a device’s power efficiency.
All three devices coming with OLED panels were also previously reported to support Apple’s ProMotion display. This would mark a bigger improvement for the MacBook Air since the technology has been available in iPad Pros since 2017. Apple has recently added ProMotion to its phones, starting with the iPhone 13 series last year.
ProMotion allows a device to dynamically switch between lower and higher refresh rates from 24Hz to 120Hz. This leads to smoother animations and more efficient power consumption.
