MacBooks and iPads could make the move to OLED screens in 2024, according to display analyst Ross Young, in a tweet only visible to his Super Followers. 

To give you the gist, Young claims there will likely be a 13.3-inch OLED MacBook alongside 11-inch and 12.9-inch OLED iPad Pros in some two years time. He doesn't know what type of MacBook will offer this display first, but suspects it could be a future MacBook Air.

OLED’s main benefits are increased power efficiency and richer blacks, thanks to the way each pixel can produce its own light instead of relying on a backlight like LCD. OLED panels are also important for efficient always-on displays, something the rumors claim Apple’s interested in for the iPhone 14. Perhaps in the future, we’ll see these on MacBooks and iPads too.

If you're interested in upgrading your Apple laptop right now though, the latest MacBooks to choose from are the MacBook Air 2022 and MacBook Pro 2022, both using the new Apple M2 chip.
