Samsung is making great progress on manufacturing panels for Apple’s upcoming OLED Mac laptop, according to the Korean publication The Elec.
The laptop is my most anticipated in-the-works product from the tech giant. The upcoming laptop — rumored to be called the “MacBook Ultra” — will be the first Mac laptop with an OLED display. That’s cool, but it’s anticipated to have even more groundbreaking features.
The rumor mill says it will be the first Mac with a touchscreen. It will almost certainly pack an M6 processor. And, if we’re lucky, it will have cellular connectivity, at least as an option.
The MacBook Ultra is anticipated to arrive in late 2026. However, some reports say it may not arrive until early 2027.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the MacBook Ultra will be offered alongside 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. He did offer the caveat that Apple “could keep the traditional MacBook Pro name,” but a MacBook Ultra moniker would “more clearly signal their position at the top of the lineup.”
The Elec says The report says Samsung could begin shipping OLED laptop panels through the supply chain as early as June. The panels are expected to be used in future 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, with estimated supply volumes of around 2 million units this year.
