Overview

• Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports the first OLED-equipped MacBook Pros with an M6 chip are now slated for the end of 2026 or the start of 2027.
• The switch from mini-LED to OLED is expected to yield deeper blacks, higher contrast and improved power efficiency for longer battery life.
• Apple has postponed its M5-powered MacBook Pro update to early 2026, retaining the current chassis design for that interim release.
• Samsung Display’s Gen 8.6 OLED production lines are positioned to supply the panels that meet Apple’s quality and volume standards.
• The two-phase rollout echoes Apple’s past dual launches and aims to drive upgrades amid the extended performance of existing M-series chips.
