We\u2019ve long been expecting a major redesign of the MacBook Pro this year, with an OLED screen one of the key features. However, a Bloomberg report last month suggested that the launch might be delayed into early next year.<\/p>\n

We still don\u2019t have any clarity on that, but a new supply chain report does seem to suggest that Apple\u2019s manufacturing partners are now gearing up for production \u2026 <\/p>\n

A new M6 MacBook Pro is expected to offer way more than a performance boost. We\u2019re expecting to see the first major redesign of the machine in many years.<\/p>\n

Existing MacBook Pro models still use an IPS LCD screen, albeit with mini-LED backlighting creating greater control and contrast than previous generations. A shift to OLED will bring MacBooks in line with the improved screen technology already used in iPhone and iPads.<\/p>\n

Supplier gearing up for mass production<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re anticipating a launch late this year, although a recent Bloomberg report did cast a little doubt on this.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman is today reporting in his newsletter that Apple is facing some production issues due to the industry-wide memory shortages. Supply constraints mean that the MacBook Pro launch is slightly delayed, and possibly won\u2019t arrive until early next year.<\/p>\n

However, a supply chain report in TheElec says that Samsung is gearing up for mass production of the display. It says the company is now reliably hitting the required quality standards.<\/p>\n

Samsung Display will start mass production of 8.6 generation OLED panels from next month at the earliest. The produced panels are expected to be used in Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models. This year\u2019s supply volume is estimated to be about 2 million units.<\/p>\n
