If there is a field where macbooks are lagging behind Windows laptops, It’s the game. But if there is another area, it is display technology. Yes, while Apple is still held behind its “Retina” brand “Retina” screens, Windows machines have been adopting Oled and Tactile years for years. Fortunately, according to industry experts, MacBook owners will soon be able to plan to have better screens as well.

The latest rumors are gracked with TF International Securities analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, as well as Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, who both have reliable track files on Apple products. While This is not the first time According to rumors, Apple would update its laptop screens, we now have a timeline update.

According to a Post Kuo made at X on September 17The MacBook Pro will be the first MacBook to receive an OLED update, and as a bonus, the new screen will also support touch. The improved model “should enter into mass production at the end of 2026”, although as is the case for the course with these leaks, the position did not indicate any private sources to support this. However, if you read between the lines and look at Kuo’s additional additional speculation, it is probably an anonymous source of Apple.

For a little assurance, Gurman, who also relies frequently on such sources, was quick to agree with Kuo’s claims in his weekly power on newsletter This weekend, highlighting his original report on the subject of 2023. However, the journalist also added that the actual release date could be closer to the beginning of 2027, according to the speed with which Apple can obtain the supply. He also specified that, technically, the overhaul has been planned for this year, but was returned “due to problems of supply to the OLED”.

As for the rest of the Apple MacBook range, no expert has an updates for this purpose, although Gurman speculates that “if Touch resonates on the MacBook Pro, I expect it to end up arriving at other Macs as well”.

Although the advantages of a laptop with a touch screen are quite explicit, Oled is higher on my personal list of wishes. Self-illuminant pixels of technology will help contrast, yes, But as on the iPhoneThey should also help the battery life. Indeed, if the current MacBook is based on a backlight that extends over the whole screen, the parts of an OLED screen can remain extinguished when they are not used.

It should be noted that the proposed calendar of Kuo and Gurman also corresponds to the exit from the iPad pro last yearwhich went to an OLED screen for the first time. Since the iPados 26 too Reworked the user experience of the iPad to look much more like the use of a MacBookIt is likely that Apple is currently providing parity between its product categories.

On this note, the post of Kuo also reminded readers Macbook potential at a lower cost that uses an iPhone processor Could be in preparation for later this year, although the details are still largely in the dark at this stage. The analyst, however, said that this model would probably not include tactile support, although it could change in the future.

With regard to other Apple products, also largely in the dark, a potential foldable iPhone, which, according to Gurman, “will be the star of the Apple 2026 product range”. As Predicted by my colleague David NieldThe journalist’s sources are telling him more and more that “users should imagine that the titanium iPhone is an iPhone side by side”, but the specifics of prices and exit dates are always up to the imagination for the moment.
