Apple’s transition to OLED screen technology in its MacBook models has been eagerly anticipated for a long time. Reports so far suggest that OLED MacBook Pros will hit the market in 2026, while OLED MacBook Air models are expected to launch no earlier than 2028. Recent developments indicate that the company is preparing a significant design change in the series.

Will OLED MacBook Pros Lack a Notch?

A recent report from research firm Omdia reveals that Apple will not use the notch design in its OLED MacBook Pros, a feature that has been a staple in MacBook models for years. Specifically, it is stated that the 14-inch and 16-inch OLED models will feature a hole-punch screen design instead of the notch.

Since the notch design was first introduced in the MacBook series, it has sparked debates. Many users argue that the notch gives the laptop a unique aesthetic, while others claim that it reduces screen space, making it an unnecessary design element.

The transition from Mini LED panels to OLED in Apple’s laptops is expected to provide numerous benefits, such as higher brightness, deeper blacks for improved contrast ratios, longer battery life, and enhanced power efficiency, significantly improving the user experience. Additionally, the possibility of thinner MacBook models in the future seems likely.
