So new Mac display will be upto date till 2027 or until QDEL windows laptop come. For that they could have skipped OLED Mac completely.
Got a tip for us?

Apple just fix the damn keyboard, I received a MBP M4 Pro 16' two weeks ago and the number row keys are already mushy.
May be im being a bit dumb but what do you mean by matrix multiplication acceleration? How is this different to the existing ANE which is optimised for matrix calculations, including multiplication. The gpu isnt exactly bad at this sort of thing either, and metal shaders provide a fairly easy to use api to program for this. What is rubbish is apple’s documentation aro7nd this, and it often isnt clear when processing will be offloaded to the co-processor, cuda documentation and api support is far, far ahead.
Right now MBP doesn't have OLED, the rumour is it will in the future, as will MBA in the future, along with ProMotion. As for the Pro/Max chips, you don't need that, you desire it. It's your choice. The nature of the medium of design is trade-offs. I'm suggesting they making the pro even more powerful and even more pro, doubling down on its thickness, fan, cooling properties, speaker chamber size and full legal capacity battery. You want it to be lighter, which is a fair request, but you will be trading airflow, cooling properties and even battery life if you want the machine to be thinner and notably lighter. That's the fact regarding reengineering the machine. We desire a different set of trade-offs. I wish for them to out-pro the MBP, leaving headroom then to un-gimp the MBA. You prefer to blur the lines and seek more Air in your Pro, and less Pro in your Air.

i've had the ipad m4 oled for a year, and to me it looks noticeably worse than the mini led in my m1 macbook pro. aside from blooming which i almost never encounter on the mini led, can't see any benefits to the oled.
but the down-sides of a fuzzy low-density sub-pixel arrangement with weird software based contrast compensation make text on the ipad look noticeably cheap and unpleasant to read every single time i pick it up. i honestly feel insane with people claiming its the best display they've ever owned, but i guess i'm in the minority somehow. 🤷♂️

Unless you think an MBP without a camera is desirable, it increases the menubar real estate by creating usable screen where a bezel would otherwise be.
I seriously do not get the notch hate.
Its all marketing talk. Every display is going to be similar because it's either manufactured by Samsung or LG usually. So 99% of the displays no matter what brand will have a display from one of these guys.
Even Apple's rumoured crease free folding iPhone display with be on Samsung phones the same year because they made it.
In real world use a very small amount of people will notice any differences. I stood next to an XDR display and it looks and performs same as the Studio display. Brightness was the same, sharpness same. Basically they slapped an XDR label on and denied to double the price.

Some version of this comment inevitably appears…
Anyway, I’ve been waiting to upgrade my M1 MBP for an OLED MacBook and I can wait another year, at least.
OLED displays are a complete downgrade over MiniLED (in virtually every way) and are not brighter. Low brightness is a primary weakness for OLED which is why they're bad for HDR. They also have burn-in issues and worse color.
It's a terrible tech and I avoid it whenever possible, but is decent for lower end devices and where battery life might be a concern.
Please fact check these articles before writing them.

OLED is a downgrade compared to MiniLED. It's a fundamentally flawed, downright inferior, dying technology.
They're also dimmer, terrible for HDR, worse color space coverage, worse text quality due to BGR pixel layout, and have burn-in issues. Avoid whenever possible.
I don’t care about OLED. I just want the next M5 processor released for MacBook Pro! Earlier than later
