Apple’s MacBook Ultra: What to expect
According to an Omdia report, the Apple MacBook Ultra will likely feature an OLED display, and it will be supplied by Samsung Display. The report highlighted that Apple may use a hybrid OLED display that combines an Oxide TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) technology and an RGB tandem OLED technology.
This combination is said to offer a more power-efficient experience than a conventional OLED panel. Therefore, users may get longer battery life, improved heat management, and improved performance efficiency. In addition, it will take less internal space for display-related components. Therefore, Apple could chase a slimmer and lightweight design, or it could make space for larger batteries or other crucial components.

Apple may offer two display sizes for MacBook Ultra: a 14.3-inch and a 16.3-inch model. For comparison, the current MacBook Pro is available in 14.2-inch and 16.2-inch sizes. It is expected to launch in Q3 of 2026, which suggests a September launch, similar to the iPhone 18 Pro’s timeline.
If the reports are true, then MacBook Ultra will become Apple’s first laptop to feature an OLED display. Alongside a new display tech, the device may also offer a touchscreen screen with a Dynamic Island placed at the centre.
