Apple is expected to launch its first MacBook Pro with an OLED display later this year. This could be a major update for Apple’s laptop lineup. OLED screens offer better colors, deeper blacks, and improved picture quality. Reports suggest that Samsung will play an important role in bringing this new display technology to the MacBook Pro.

The upcoming MacBook Pro is rumored to feature Apple’s new M6 chip, which should deliver better performance and power efficiency. The biggest change is the OLED display, which will be supplied by Samsung Display. For the first OLED MacBook Pro, Samsung is expected to be Apple’s only display partner.

There are also rumors about touchscreen support. Some reports say touchscreen features may be limited to higher-end models with M6 Pro and M6 Max chips. The base M6 model may not include touch support. Apple has not confirmed these details yet.

Samsung Display is said to begin mass production of its 8th-generation OLED panels in May. These advanced panels will be made in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, matching Apple’s current MacBook Pro models.

Aside from this, Samsung Display is expected to ship around 2 million OLED panels for Apple’s MacBook Pro by the end of the year. This suggests Apple is planning a large launch for its first OLED MacBook Pro models.

If these reports are accurate, Apple’s OLED MacBook Pro, powered by Samsung’s display technology, could become one of the biggest upgrades to the MacBook Pro in many years. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung Display will reportedly begin production at its new Gen 8 OLED factory, A6, in May. This will be the first factory in the world to make OLED screens using Gen 8 technology.

Gen 8 means the factory uses very large glass sheets to make screens. Bigger glass allows the company to make bigger screens more easily and at lower cost. These large OLED screens are mainly used in laptops and tablets. Today, most phone OLED screens are still made in Gen 6 factories, which use smaller glass.

Samsung Display has already told its suppliers that glass substrates will be added to the A6 production line in May. This is a sign that the factory is almost ready to run at full speed. The screens made at this factory will be used in Apple’s future MacBook laptops. Apple plans to launch MacBooks with OLED screens later this year, in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes.

The Korean tech giant expects to ship about 2 million OLED screens for MacBooks this year. Some parts needed to finish the display are still under development. Apple is also changing some designs to save money. Because the final assembly happens later, Samsung Display wants to make enough screens first.

Samsung Display has a bigger plan for the A6 factory. It wants the factory to be able to make up to 10 million 14.3-inch OLED screens every year. Stay tuned for more information.
