According to The Elec news site, the launch date of the first MacBook Air equipped with an OLED screen may be delayed to 2029, instead of 2027 as originally planned.
The report claims that the fact that OLED screens have not helped increase iPad Pro sales as Apple expected is the main reason why the company has postponed bringing this expensive technology to the MacBook Air.
However, it is unclear whether there are any other reasons for this delay.
This means that the MacBook Air will continue to use LCD screen technology for the next 4 years.
The delay in the launch of the MacBook Air with OLED display shows that Apple is being more cautious about applying new technologies to its mainstream product line. This decision reflects the company's priority in balancing production costs, product price and value for users.
However, Apple reportedly plans to incorporate TFT Oxide technology on MacBook Air models in 2027. This technology promises to deliver higher color accuracy, better contrast ratios, more uniform screen brightness, and lower power consumption, helping to extend battery life.
So, even without OLED, users can still expect significant screen improvements on the MacBook Air in the near future.
