Apple’s Influence on Release Dates
While Samsung’s commitment to producing 8th-gen OLED screens is a significant step forward, Apple remains the final arbiter of release dates for its MacBook Pro lineup. This means that the OLED MacBook Pros may launch in the second half of 2026, or even as late as 2027. Several previous reports, including one by The Elec, also suggested that Apple fans might have to wait for up to four years from 2023 before witnessing the release of the first OLED MacBook.
