Apple plans to release a new version of the MacBook Air in 2027, featuring an advanced LCD display with Oxide TFT technology instead of current amorphous silicon (a-Si) panels. This change is expected to improve colors and overall performance compared to standard LCD displays.
The shift comes before Apple’s planned OLED transition for other devices, including the upcoming MacBook Pro models next year. Samsung and BOE are supplying the new panels and have developed manufacturing capabilities. The advanced technology offers better power efficiency, improved performance, and faster response times, resulting in sharper images and enhanced battery life.
However, the delayed OLED transition for the MacBook Air lineup means that Apple is prioritizing this upgrade for future models, such as the MacBook Pro, which will receive the same technology used on the OLED iPad Pro. The company’s decision to use a different technology for the MacBook Air initially suggests that it may not be entirely comparable to the OLED display.
