OLED MacBook Pro could open the way for an OLED MacBook Air
Apple has introduced an OLED-screen MacBook Pro, which is being sold alongside an existing Mini-LED version.
The MacBook Air still has a 60 Hz IPS screen, while the Pro has offered a higher-refresh-rate display.
The analysis argues that Apple has kept the Air's screen less advanced to preserve a clear gap between the Air and Pro.
It expects the OLED Pro to eventually replace the Mini-LED model, which could end the base MacBook Pro 14 and create room for an OLED MacBook Air.
Any OLED Air would likely cost more and could have limits on brightness, color range or refresh rate.
Apple has not confirmed an OLED MacBook Air, so its arrival and features remain uncertain.
Apple’s first OLED MacBook Pro could create room for a MacBook Air with an OLED screen, according to Notebookcheck.
The article says the current MacBook Air has a 60 Hz IPS display, while the MacBook Pro 14 offers a higher-refresh-rate display.
Notebookcheck expects the OLED MacBook Pro to replace the Mini-LED version over time.
It says the base MacBook Pro 14 could eventually be discontinued, potentially allowing an OLED MacBook Air at a higher price.
The article predicts Apple may limit the Air’s brightness, color gamut or refresh rate to preserve a distinction from Pro models.
