OLED MacBook Pro Launch Delayed to 2027 Due to Supply Chain Issues
Apple's anticipated switch to OLED technology for its MacBook Pro line faces delays, with the first models now expected in 2027, as competitors secure earlier access to supplies.
- Apple's plans to introduce an OLED MacBook Pro have been postponed, with the first models now expected to launch in 2027.
- Samsung Display, the primary supplier for the OLED panels, will not have an exclusive production line for Apple, allowing competitors like HP and Dell to access the technology sooner.
- The delay is attributed to supply chain challenges, including the setup of production lines and securing exclusive access to OLED technology.
- Despite the setback, the OLED MacBook Pro is highly anticipated for its superior image quality and color reproduction compared to current models.
- Other manufacturers, including BOE and LG, are also vying to supply OLED panels, potentially impacting Apple's timeline and supply chain dynamics.
