Apple is expected to ditch the notch design in its upcoming MacBook Pro laptop models. As per a report by 9To5Mac. The MacBook Pro lineup has consistently been one of the top-selling laptops on the market. However, the tech giant is preparing for a significant design overhaul. According to reports, Apple plans to upgrade the MacBook Pro by transitioning to OLED displays in 2026.
Apple plans to switch from mini-LED to OLED displays for the MacBook Pro between 2026 and 2027, according to 9To5Mac, citing research firm Omdia. The upcoming MacBook Pro is expected to feature an OLED display with hybrid technology, similar to the M4 iPad Pro, which uses stacked OLED panels for higher brightness levels.

The report further added that the traditional notch is expected to be replaced with iPhonelike dynamic island design. It might include a hole cutout with rounded corners, just like on the iPhone.
Additionally, Apple is expected to equip many other devices with OLED displays including iPad Mini. The iPad Mini that is likely to launch globally in 2026 is expected to come with an OLED display and iPad Air in 2027. It is expected that MacBook Air will also get the OLED display but in 2028 only but might retain the notch design still.
For the unversed, Apple is also rumoured to be working on a foldable smartphone that is likely to include OLED displays. This foldable smartphone might debut in 2028. Notably, none of these details have been confirmed by the company yet.
Apple is expected to launch its next MacBook Air with the M4 chipset in 2025. After introducing the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models with the M3 SoC in March 2024, the company is set to release a range of new devices, including the iPhone 17 Series, updated MacBooks, iMacs, iPads, and smart home products. Following the M4-powered iPad Pro debut in May 2024, the MacBook Air with the M4 is expected to arrive in 2025, with some specs already rumored.
