prob cuz 2023 will be skipped ? just like we didnt get new mba/entry level mpb in 2021
u like your current mba ? nice,but how about buying our 15" we just released !Call me stupid but I can't understand Apple's notebook strategy anymore
then one year later : you like your 15" mba ? how about getting OUR BRAND NEW oled mac ,contrast is awesome,so is brightness !
etc etc
They seem incredibly late to this party. And it's not like new tech that they needed to wait and mature. Better late then never still I guess.
But those suffering from PWM won't appreciate it.

well, I mean like there are these rumored OLED notebooks, then 15 inch Airs, then 12 inch Macbooks revived, just too many possible models
You would have to find a quality LCD display from Apple these days. The miniLED tech they are using in iPads/MBPs have some of the worst response times in the industry (ref Notebookcheck.net) and then there’s the iPad Mini 6. Now, Apple has one of their former shamed suppliers coming back to the build the new MBA so can’t wait to see that display.
ik but i meant to say that these may well replace the air or sth,to make u want to upgrade from the model you'll have at that moment .
"in 2024"? I had to double check my calendar for this rumor, I thought covid distortion of space time may have fast forwarded me into 2023, but no, it's still 2022.
They also have a shorter lifespan & that’s not something anyone wants with a device costing on average over $2000!!
I really love how Apple Silicon has basically allowed me to choose a device with the best display tech. For me these chips are so performant that they are almost an afterthought. You *know* it's going to be a screamer, just pick your toppings.
Consumer-grade MicroLED modules are not yet readily available in the sizes necessary for portable devices. At the moment modules are very large and very expensive so they are only used in 100" or larger TVs with $100,000 or higher price tags.
The Pro Display XDR is not technically MiniLED, though it does have 576 backlighting zones.
OLED will not currently reach the peak brightness of the Pro Display XDR nor the MiniLED displays on the iPad Pro and the 14"/16" MacBooks Pro, but it is getting closer.
A lot of people on here have really great technical knowledge. I don’t.
I just know that I spend a lot of time just holding my XS Max and marveling how nice the screen looks.
My wife just bought an iPhone 13 and I was quite taken aback with how much less sumptuous her screen is.
I planned to enjoy watching a lot of media content on my new 16” MacBook Pro, but I don’t, because the screen is not compelling enough. Whereas our TV is incredibly enthralling.
The only thing my phone and TV have in common is that they are OLED.
So yes please, give us macs with screens as exquisite as the top iphones and LG TVs. (But not Samsung’s QD OLED, which I find not quite as engrossing as other OLEDs.)
I don’t know if my take on this has any basis in technical facts, but that has been my viewing experience. Thanks for your patience in reading this.

The display situation with apple is a bit sloppy...
I'd focus on consolidating the mini-led offering first.
A full macbook air/pro lineup with mini-LED and then a full OLED lineup.
Same thing with the iPad Pros, which I'd like to see with mini-LED on all sizes.
To conclude, I also find the whole lineup, once again, a bit sloppy.
It's not that elegant to keep the M2 Macbook Pro with the old design, same thing with the old air.
I understand it's a temporary measure, but I hope they'll soon be dropped from the catalogue.
I'd love to see a simpler lineup.

Yeah, I’m confused why they would switch to OLED after developing out mini-LED. Continuing to evolve mini-LED seems to me like it would offer the perfect balance of minimal blooming and no risk of burn-in. Maybe they’re having trouble bringing mini-LED to their lighter weight devices.
