Apple Tests OLED Displays for Future MacBook Air and iMac

Apple has begun technical evaluations of OLED panels for future MacBook Air and iMac models, Bloomberg reports.

Those evaluations mark the start of internal testing rather than an imminent product launch: Bloomberg says the next generations of both machines will continue to ship with LCD displays. The report adds that a new iMac model is expected to be unveiled this week, while a refreshed MacBook Air is not expected until early 2027.

Development status and timing

Apple has not provided a firm timetable for migrating its all-in-one desktops and thin laptops to OLED, and the company’s work on the transition remains at an early development stage, according to Bloomberg. The testing described in the report is framed as technical assessment rather than confirmation of final production plans.
