Apple Display Roadmap Leaked: MacBook Pro May Get OLED Displays and Lose the Notch by 2026

Highlights

  • Apple to change MacBook Pro lineup display from mini-LED to OLED by 2026.
  • The company will launch 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with hybrid OLED technology between 2026 and 2027.
  • Apple to include OLED technology across its product lineup including iPad mini by 2026, iPad Air by 2027, and a foldable OLED device by 2028 or later.

A recently leaked Apple Display Adoption Roadmap document revealed some key details about the future of the MacBook Pro lineup. According to the leaked information, Apple is planning a big shift for its MacBook Pro lineup and will be moving from mini-LED to OLED displays by 2026.

Popular tipster @Jukanlosreve shared the details from research firm Omdia on X (formerly Twitter) revealing that this transition will also bring design changes including the removal of the MacBook Pro’s notch.


The document posted by @Jukanlosreve also shows that Apple plans to launch 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with hybrid OLED technology between 2026 and 2027. The tech was introduced by Apple on the iPad Pro this year.

This update aligns with previous hints by analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Ross Young on X. Kuo Young agreed that next year’s MacBooks will continue to have LCD screens with mini-LED backlighting.

Coming back to the recent update, one notable change detailed in the roadmap document is a change from the current rounded corner + notch cut to a rounded corner + hole cut design for the webcam. This would eliminate the notch Apple introduced with its 2021 MacBook Pro redesign, which brought the display closer to the edges but left a cutout for the webcam.

MacBook Pros With OLED Displays Won’t Have a Notch, Roadmap Shows

If these plans turn out to be accurate, the new hole-punch cutout would create more usable screen space. MacRumors notes in its report that this change will resolve the issue of the notch interrupting the macOS menu bar.

However, specific design details remain unclear. Some speculate the OLED MacBook Pro could adopt a Dynamic Island-like design, similar to the iPhone.

The roadmap also highlights broader plans for Apple’s devices:

  • iPad mini: Could switch to OLED by late 2026.
  • iPad Air: Expected to adopt OLED displays around 2027.
  • MacBook Air: Likely to switch to OLED in 2028 but will retain the notch design.
  • Foldable Device: Apple is reportedly working on a foldable OLED device for release in 2028 or later.

These changes indicate how Apple is focusing on integrating OLED technology into its product lineup and promising better display performance with new design possibilities.

FAQs

Q1. When will Apple transition the MacBook Pro lineup to OLED displays?

Answer. Apple plans to transition the MacBook Pro lineup from mini-LED to OLED displays by 2026.

Q2. What design change is expected for the MacBook Pro with the switch to OLED displays?

Answer. The MacBook Pro is expected to remove the notch and adopt a rounded corner + hole cut design for the webcam, creating more usable screen space.

Q3. What are Apple’s broader plans for OLED technology in its other devices?

Answer. As per recent reports, Apple plans to switch the iPad mini to OLED by late 2026, the iPad Air by 2027, and the MacBook Air to OLED in 2028. Additionally, Apple is reportedly working on a foldable OLED device for release in 2028 or later.

Multiple reports have already revealed that Apple is working on making the iPhone 17 Air the thinnest phone in the company’s portfolio. Now a recent Bloomberg report reveals more precise details about how thin the upcoming iPhone is actually going to be.

As per the reports, the Apple iPhone 17 Air will be 25% thinner than the current iPhone 16 Pro model. This will make it ‘thinnest phone yet’ in Apple’s portfolio.

Thinnest Apple Product

Apple has been pushing for thinner and sleeker devices for a while now. In the year 2024, we first had the M4 iPad Pro launched in May as Apple’s thinnest device ever. This was followed by the Apple Watch Series 10 in September with a significant reduction in thickness.

However, the iPhone 16 series didn’t change much when it comes to the thickness of the phones. Apple is working on changing this with the iPhone 17 Air.

image
iPhone 16 thickness is 7.8mm. (Image credit – Apple)

The current iPhone measurements are as follows –

  • iPhone 16: 7.8mm
  • iPhone 16 Plus: 7.8mm
  • iPhone 16 Pro: 8.25mm
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max: 8.25mm

iPhone 17 Air – Company’s Thinnest Phone Yet

The new model won’t feature top-tier specs but is expected to showcase Apple’s vision for the future of iPhone design.

According to Mark Gurman in a Bloomberg report, “That device will be the company’s thinnest phone yet and showcase why Apple spent billions of dollars to replace Qualcomm…By using its own modem, Apple is able to create a smartphone that’s about 2 millimetres thinner than an iPhone 16 Pro.”

A 2mm reduction from the iPhone 16 Pro’s thickness would make the iPhone 17 Air approximately 6mm thick. This amounts to an overall thickness reduction of about 25%, which is slightly more for Pro models and slightly less for the base models.

Apple clearly is focusing in making its devices more sleeker and thinner. With all the new rumours and updates, it looks like iPhone 17 Air could set a new benchmark in this regards for both the company and smartphone industry.

FAQs

Q1. How much thinner will the iPhone 17 Air be compared to the iPhone 16 Pro?

Answer. The Apple iPhone 17 Air will be 25% thinner than the current iPhone 16 Pro, making it approximately 6mm thick, which is about 2 millimeters thinner.

Q2. What other Apple products have seen significant thickness reductions in 2024?

Answer. In 2024, Apple launched the M4 iPad Pro in May and the Apple Watch Series 10 in September, both with significant reductions in thickness.

Q3. How thin are the iPhone 16 models?

Answer. iPhone 16 is 7.8mm thin, iPhone 16 Plus is 7.8mm thin, iPhone 16 Pro is 8.25mm and iPhone 16 Pro Max is 8.25mm.

Highlights

  • OnePlus India was ordered to pay ₹5,000 to Bengaluru resident SM Ramesh.

OnePlus India Technology Pvt Ltd has been ordered to pay ₹5,000 to SM Ramesh, a resident of Bengaluru’s Sanjay Nagar, for failing to provide a user manual when he purchased a OnePlus Nord CE 3 smartphone in December 2023.

Ramesh bought the phone for ₹24,598 but discovered the user manual was missing, which made it difficult for him to access warranty details and the company’s address.

Although OnePlus eventually sent him the manual in April, four months after the purchase, Ramesh decided to take the matter to the consumer disputes redressal commission in June, citing “deficiency in service.”

In its November 29 order, the consumer forum criticized OnePlus India for its “sheer negligence and indifference,” according to the report.

Similar Case Against IKEA

This isn’t the first time Bengaluru’s consumer court has stepped in for customer grievances. In October last year, Swedish retailer IKEA was fined ₹3,000 for charging ₹20 for a carry bag with its logo.

The case involved a woman who purchased items at IKEA’s Nagasandra showroom but was charged for the branded bag. In its ruling, the court ordered IKEA to refund the ₹20 with interest and pay ₹1,000 as compensation for harassment and ₹2,000 for court expenses.

These cases highlight the importance of consumer rights and the accountability of large corporations.

The case was reported by The Times of India.

Amazon India Leadership Upheaval as Head of Consumer Electronics Resigns

0

Highlights

  • Amazon India’s Head of Consumer Electronics and former CEO of Cloudtail has resigned.
  • The company is entering the quick commerce sector by January.
  • Amazon Seller Services in India reported a 14% increase in operating revenue to ₹25,406 crore for the last financial year.

Amazon India’s Head of Consumer Electronics and Former CEO of its largest seller Cloudtail, Ranjit Babu has stepped down in a major leadership churn. Babu’s resignation follows a string of senior-level departures including that of former India head Manish Tiwary.

Babu has been a key figure at Amazon India for over a decade and has held key roles in top-performing categories. His stint at Cloudtail played a vital role in shaping Amazon’s success in India.

In December 2022, Babu took on additional responsibilities after senior executive Noor Patel moved to Amazon US. By July 2023, he was promoted to head the consumer electronics division and was overseeing high-revenue categories like smartphones.

“He has resigned and is moving on,” a source was quoted in the Economic Times report.

Amazon declined to comment on his departure.

Babu’s resignation comes amid a broader restructuring effort. A company veteran Samir Kumar has stepped into the role of India head after Tiwary’s exit. Other senior executives including Gaurav Arora and Suresh John have also left the organisation recently.

Tiwary’s departure came when analysts suggested Amazon India has been losing market share in key categories to competitor Flipkart. In response, Amazon is working to mark its position in core e-commerce and enter the fast-growing quick-commerce sector as well.

The company is expected to launch its quick commerce platform codenamed Tez by January.

Despite leadership changes, Amazon Seller Services the Indian marketplace arm reported a 14% increase in operating revenue to ₹25,406 crore for the last financial year. Net losses were reduced by 28% to ₹3,469 crore.

However, the revenue growth of 3% in FY23 lags behind the 32% and 49% seen during FY22 and FY21, respectively.

The bulk of Amazon’s revenue in India comes from third-party seller services subscriptions like Amazon Prime and advertising. The company also earns royalties from licensing digital content. In FY24, Amazon Seller Services received a ₹830 crore fund infusion from its parent company, followed by an additional ₹1,660 crore in FY25.

Meanwhile, Amazon India’s logistics, payments and wholesale divisions posted moderate revenue growth of 7-11% in FY24 along with slight reductions in losses.

With senior leadership shifts and intensified competition, Amazon India’s future strategies including its upcoming quick commerce launch will be crucial in maintaining its position in the market.

FAQs

Q1. Why did Ranjit Babu resign from Amazon India?

Answer. Ranjit Babu, Amazon India’s Head of Consumer Electronics and former CEO of Cloudtail, has stepped down amid a broader restructuring effort, following other senior-level departures.

Q2. How did Amazon Seller Services in India perform financially in the last financial year?

Answer. Amazon Seller Services reported a 14% increase in operating revenue to ₹25,406 crore for the last financial year. Net losses were reduced by 28% to ₹3,469 crore but revenue growth slowed to 3% in FY23.

Q3. What future strategies is Amazon India planning to maintain its market position?

Answer. Amazon India is focusing on strengthening its core e-commerce position and entering the quick commerce sector, with plans to launch its quick commerce platform codenamed Tez by January.
