A new roadmap claims to reveal Apple's timetable for transitioning to OLED displays across its iPad and MacBook lineups.
The roadmap from research firm Omdia was recently shared online by @Jukanlosreve.
Here's a look at the timetable...
2026
As previously rumored, Apple is expected to unveil new 14.3-inch and 16.3-inch MacBook Pro models in 2026. These will purportedly have Hybrid OLED + RGB Tandem + Oxide TFT + TSP on TFE
displays with Dynamic Frame Rate. Additionally, they're said to feature rounded corners and a hole cut for the FaceTime camera; rather than the notched design on the current MacBook Pro. The 14.3-inch and 16.3-inch sizes are up slightly from the 14.2-inch and 16.2-inch displays on the current generation models.
The iPad mini is also expected to get a new 8.4-inch Hybrid OLED + RGB Single + LTPS TFT
(60Hz frame rate) display with rounded corners in 2026. That's a slight increase in size from the 8.3-inch display on the A17 Pro iPad mini.
2027
In 2027, Apple will purportedly update its iPad Air with 11-inch and 13-inch Hybrid OLED + RGB Single + LTPS (60Hz Frame Rate) displays with rounded corners. That's up slightly in size from the 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch displays on the current models.
2028
Apple will reportedly introduce new 13.8-inch and 15.5-inch MacBook Air models in 2028 with Hybrid OLED + RGB Single + LTPO or Oxide TFT + TSP on TFE (Dynamic Frame Rate) displays. Those displays are up in size from the current 13.6-inch and 15.4-inch models. Additionally, the new displays are said to be rectangular and feature a notch cut for the FaceTime camera.
Finally, Omdia suggests that Apple could unveil some type of foldable device (Tablet/Note PC/Monitor) with an 18.8-inch Foldable OLED + RGB Tandem + LTPO TFT + TSP on TFE + Pol-less (Dynamic Frame Rate) display in 2028. Notably, this prediction aligns with a report from TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
