Apple will exclusively rely on Samsung Display for the production of OLED touch panels for the upcoming “MacBook Ultra,” claims The Elec.
The 14-inch and 16-inch panels will be produced at Samsung’s 8.6-generation OLED line at Asan, in Korea’s South Chungcheong Province. The estimated initial supply is said to be 250,000 panels, and mass production is expected to begin around August.
The MacBook Ultra is anticipated to be the first Mac laptop with an OLED touch display in a slimmer, lightweight. It’s also expected (or at least hoped) that it will add cellular connectivity options.
Supply chain reports estimate a MacBook Ultra starting price of roughly $2,499 for a 14-inch model and $2,999 for a 16-inch model. That would be approximately a 20% premium over current MacBook Pro tiers.
