Apple's MacBook Air Faces Potential Delay Beyond 2027

High costs and supply chain challenges are pushing back the anticipated release of Apple's OLED MacBook Air, originally expected in 2027.

  • Apple plans to transition its MacBook Air from LCD to OLED displays, but significant delays are likely due to high manufacturing costs.
  • Industry sources report that the OLED display's cost could substantially increase the MacBook Air's retail price, potentially affecting consumer demand.
  • The MacBook Pro is expected to adopt OLED technology by 2026, using a more advanced dual-stack OLED configuration.
  • Current OLED suppliers, LG Display and Samsung Display, offer limited price competition, complicating cost reduction efforts for Apple.
  • Apple's OLED iPad Pro, launched earlier, experienced slower sales than expected, highlighting consumer reluctance to pay higher prices for OLED technology.
