Apple is testing OLED prototypes for the iMac and MacBook Air, but neither upgrade is expected soon. While the upcoming 'Pro and Tell' event may debut an OLED MacBook Pro, the broader rollout to consumer models remains distant. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is currently evaluating new iMac and MacBook Air designs featuring OLED displays.
However, these are still in early testing phases and not near launch. An updated 24-inch iMac without OLED is expected imminently, followed by a non-OLED MacBook Air in early 2027. Previous rumors suggest OLED versions of these models won’t arrive until at least 2027, with some analysts pushing timelines to 2029.
Ming-Chi Kuo previously indicated the MacBook Air OLED launch would be delayed, and recent reports point to a 2029 release. Additionally, a new OLED MacBook model is rumored for 2029 to sit between the Pro and Air lines. Despite ongoing speculation, Apple has not confirmed any OLED plans for non-Pro Macs.
