Samsung may supply OLED displays for 16-inch MacBook Pro, future iPad Pros

Apple is non a stranger to OLED displays inwards around of its products, including the high-end iPhone models together with the latest-generation Apple Watch models. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 novel written report suggests Samsung may live tapped to render OLED displays for non solely a futurity MacBook Pro, but also the iPad Pro lineup.

According to a written report from The Elec (via MacRumors), Apple is going to deed to OLED displays for at to the lowest degree ane MacBook Pro model, equally good equally move brand the switch for the iPad Pro lineup at around betoken inwards the futurity equally well. Samsung volition reportedly live the society called upon to render those displays.

Unfortunately, at that topographic point is non a lot to larn on hither and The Elec doesn’t necessarily stimulate got a rigid rails tape when it comes to rumors. So accept this ane alongside a grain of tabular array salt for sure. However, the adoption of OLED displays inwards other pop devices alongside the Apple logo would brand sense. Especially for the iPad Pro lineup.

It’s also worth noting that these novel devices aren’t necessarily a surprise yesteryear themselves. Rumors of a 16-inch MacBook Pro stimulate got been circulating since Feb of this year. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has speculated that Apple volition launch a new, redesigned MacBook Pro alongside a display mensuration inwards betwixt sixteen together with 16.5 inches. However, at the time, Kuo didn’t specify a display technology.

Since then, nosotros stimulate got also heard that Apple is planning on adopting mini-LED displays for the MacBook Pro inwards early on 2021, which could come across a display size betwixt fifteen together with 17 inches. There seems to live around confusion at this betoken if we’ll come across the 16-inch MacBook Pro launch, together with thus this mini-LED model launch afterward that equally an upgraded model downwardly the line. We may also come across Apple await to upgrade the display inwards the MacBook Pro until it’s cook to launch the mini-LED displays, too.

(Apple launched 2 upgraded MacBook Pro models before this month, both of which stimulate got the same display engineering equally the previous models. The solely changes came inwards the shape of the Intel processors inside, alongside Apple adopting its firstly 8-core MacBook Pro.)

Meanwhile, novel iPad Pro models are coming downwardly the pipe, too, which could characteristic upgraded antenna technology, too. Early rumors advise Apple could deed into majority production of the novel iPad Pro laid out inwards the quaternary quarter of 2019. It’s possible that these novel iPad Pro models adopt an OLED display, but at that topographic point are rumors pointing to Apple adopting mini-LED engineering yesteryear 2021 for the iPad Pro.

Sounds similar Apple is going to laid out making around big changes inwards display engineering for around of its products. The inquiry is, should Apple await to fully adopt mini-LED together with simply skip OLED for around of these products? Or practise y'all intend Apple should purpose OLED for equally long equally it tin before it makes the fountain to mini-LED?
