Apple’s next OLED MacBook Pro development appears to be proceeding as planned in the supply chain despite expectations of a possible launch delay. As Samsung Display is said to have begun preparations for mass production of OLED panels for Apple, attention is again turning to the possibility of a major hardware overhaul for the next MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n

Samsung has stepped up preparations to produce OLED panels for Apple’s next MacBook Pro, IT outlet 9to5Mac reported on May 21 local time.<\/p>\n

The market initially leaned toward the possibility that Apple would unveil an OLED MacBook Pro late this year, but more recently there has also been a view that the launch could be pushed back to early next year. Still, some analysis says development itself is continuing as planned, given that the supply chain is moving into actual parts production.<\/p>\n

Supply-chain information says Samsung is nearing a stage where it can stably produce laptop-sized OLED panels to Apple’s required level. The industry sees Samsung as having begun to reliably meet the required quality standards. This has also raised the prospect that the panels could be shipped to Apple’s assembly partners within about 2 months.<\/p>\n

A shift to OLED also carries significance for the MacBook Pro’s product strategy. The MacBook Pro currently uses a mini LED backlight-based IPS LCD display. While that structure improves contrast expression and screen control compared with conventional LCDs, applying OLED would extend to the Mac lineup the display technology path first introduced in the iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n

The scale of the design change is also expected to be significant. The…<\/p>\n
