Summary
Apple is set to extend OLED screens beyond the iPad Pro, with the iPad mini due this year and MacBook Pro models following in late 2026 or early 2027, DigiTimes reported.
The rollout would continue with the iPad Air in 2027, then the iMac and MacBook Air in 2028 or 2029, covering five product lines over roughly three years.
Tandem OLED debuted on the 2024 iPad Pro to address brightness and lifespan limits, and the broader shift would bring OLED’s deeper blacks, higher contrast and thinner panels to more Apple devices.
The report also leaves open whether the cited MacBook Pro is a standard refresh or the rumored touchscreen "MacBook Ultra," which has been expected later this year or early next year.
