OLED MacBook Pro without a notch is rumored to be released in 2026.

Apple has big plans for the future display of MacBook Pro. According to the new timeline from research institution Omdia, Apple aims to transition MacBook Pro from mini-LED to OLED displays by 2026. As part of this change, it is reported that Apple plans to eliminate the concave design of MacBook Pro. From 2026 to 2027, Apple plans to release MacBook Pro models with OLED displays, including 14-inch and 16-inch models. The company plans to use the hybrid OLED display technology introduced in the iPad Pro this year. This aligns with previous reports. The roadmap for MacBook Pro from 2026/2027 shows that the design will change from "rounded corners + cutout" to "rounded corners + hole" to accommodate the camera. In 2021, Apple added a notch to the display of MacBook Pro. This notch allows Apple to bring the display closer to the device's edge, with the notch itself serving as a webcam. It is expected that when MacBook Pro transitions from mini-LED to OLED in 2026 or 2027, the notch will be changed to a hole cutout. This will increase the effective screen size of MacBook Pro's display. Additionally, it is rumored that this change will prevent the macOS menu bar from being cut off like it is now. This rumor does not provide detailed information on the implementation of the new hole cutout design. It is possible that OLED MacBook Pro will adopt a Dynamic Island design similar to the iPhone. It is expected that the OLED transition will occur for the 2026 second half iPad mini and the 2027 iPad Air. The OLED transition for the 2028 MacBook Air is expected to retain the notch design. Even if the details are unclear, reports indicate that Apple is working on developing a certain foldable device with an OLED panel to be released after 2028. What if Apple changes the notch of MacBook Pro to a hole cutout for web camera use? Should Apple introduce a dynamic island on Macs? Please share your thoughts in the comments section.
