    Apple plans OLED displays for MacBook Pro models in 2026

    Apple is expected to introduce new MacBook Pro models featuring OLED displays in 2026, according to market research firm Omdia. This anticipated shift is predicted to significantly increase the demand for OLED technology in the notebook market, potentially reaching over 60 million units by 2031.

    OLED, or organic light-emitting diode, panels offer several advantages over traditional display technologies. Each pixel in an OLED screen can be individually controlled, allowing for more precise colour reproduction and deeper blacks. OLED displays also boast superior contrast, faster response times, better viewing angles, and greater design flexibility.

    In addition to the MacBook Pro, Apple plans to implement OLED displays in its iPad Pro lineup starting in 2024. This move is expected to triple the demand for OLED tablets compared to the previous year. Apple’s strategy includes extending OLED technology to other iPad models, such as the iPad mini and iPad Air. This transition is likely to influence competitors and could drive the demand for OLED tablets to exceed 30 million units by 2029.

    Recent reports indicate that Samsung has begun developing an 8-inch OLED display panel for the iPad mini, with predictions that Apple will update both the iPad mini and iPad Air with OLED technology by 2026. Additionally, last year, Samsung was rumoured to be investing $3.14 billion into its Asan, South Korea, facility to produce OLED panels for forthcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

    Apple’s adoption of OLED displays across its product lines marks a significant evolution in display technology, promising enhanced user experiences through improved visual quality and device performance.

    Apple unveils new iPad Pro with M4 chip at ‘Let Loose’ event

    Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, described the recent “Let Loose” event as “the biggest day for iPad since its introduction.”

    The tech giant introduced significant updates to the iPad Air and iPad Pro, along with the launch of a new Apple Pencil Pro and an updated Magic Keyboard, tailored specifically for these new iPads.

    iPad Air: Two display sizes and new color options

    The latest iPad Air now comes in two sizes, an 11-inch model and a larger 13-inch version, both powered by the advanced M2 chip.

    Other enhancements include the addition of spatial audio for immersive sound and the relocation of the front-facing camera to the landscape edge, facilitating better video calls.

    Alongside the classic space grey and starry finishes, Apple has introduced new blue and purple color options, offering a wider variety of choices.

    iPad Pro: A leap in display technology and performance

    Apple’s updated iPad Pro features a revolutionary display technology called Tandem OLED, available in both the 11-inch and 13-inch models.

    The iPad Pro now boasts the powerful M4 chip, providing a substantial performance boost.

    Apple claims that this new chip makes the iPad Pro “four times faster” than its predecessor, a surprising leap given that these advanced chips were expected to debut in the Mac series.

    The iPad Pro will be available in space black and silver finishes.

    Apple Pencil Pro: Precision and new features

    The new Apple Pencil Pro is designed to offer greater precision and control, thanks to its built-in gyroscope that allows users to fine-tune their tools.

    A unique squeeze feature enables users to quickly switch between tools, adding a new layer of functionality.

    Additionally, the Pencil Pro now integrates with Apple’s FindMy feature, providing a simple way to locate the Pencil if it is misplaced.

    As with the previous model, the Pencil Pro is magnetically charged and can be attached to the iPad for easy transport.

    Magic Keyboard: Lighter and thinner for enhanced portability

    Apple has redesigned the Magic Keyboard to be lighter and thinner to complement the new iPad Pro’s sleek profile.

    It features an aluminium trackpad, a row of function keys, and comes in two color options to match the iPad Pro.

    The Magic Keyboard will be available in two sizes: the 11-inch model priced at $299 and the 13-inch model at $349.
