OLED MacBook Air may not come until 2029

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that Apple’s rollout of higher-quality OLED displays will include the MacBook Air, but may be later than expected.

Partly because OLED brings significant benefits such as thinner displays with higher resolutions, it’s long been expected that Apple will eventually bring the technology to all or most of its devices. While one report predicted the MacBook Air would get OLED in 2027, most say 2028, but Ming-Chi Kuo now says it could happen later.

In an extended tweet about supply issues and expectations for the MacBook Neo, Kuo first repeats his prior prediction that the MacBook Pro will get an OLED screen in its next update. He has said before that this will be at the end of 2026, though he now amends that to say it could be early 2027.
