Report Points to OLED MacBook Air in 2028, Touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro as Early as 2026

Bloomberg describes a phased shift to OLED across iPads and Macs tied to redesign timing plus M‑series updates.

Overview

Mark Gurman reports that Apple is targeting 2028 for the MacBook Air’s move from LCD to OLED as part of a broader display transition.
Apple’s next major MacBook Pro redesign is expected to add an OLED panel with touch input, potentially arriving in late 2026, according to Gurman and analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo.
Before the shift, a MacBook Air with M5 chips is expected early next year and is still slated to use an LCD display.
If Apple keeps an annual cadence, the first OLED MacBook Air would likely debut with M7 chips, based on Gurman’s outlook.
Gurman says Apple has begun early work on an OLED MacBook Air, low‑cost iPad models are not expected to adopt OLED, and the rollout sequence likely starts with iPad mini, then MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and MacBook Air.
