What super amazing features should they be releasing right now?Its only because Apple has a recent history of screwing up new features, releasing bugs to make the keynote, or releasing meaningless features just so Cook can say "Amazing". I've not seen amazing recently, iterative yes, amazing no.
That’s not people saying it’s “obsolete” technology or that it’s a “pos.” Some problem wouldn’t use it on a Mac or static screen. ♂️No one?
"And how do they plan to mitigate the OLED burn in? Not having the screen totally static in terms of full screen windows?
We really don't want another 4 years of repairing screens now that hopefully we will get rid of the keyboard issue.... I'd rather wait for Micro LED at this point."
"I wouldn’t dream of using an OLED panel on a Mac at this point in time. Too many static UI elements that could cause burn in."
"I love my OLED TV but I'd never want to buy a Mac with an OLED screen. Ugh. Apple keeps pushing me away."
"I really hope not. OLED is flawed tech and on top of that its expensive. I hope we will use LED until microLED is ready."
"I wouldn’t want OLED on a static screen. Sounds like a nightmare."
Yes? According to whom? Some random armchair analysts on an internet forum?
Fact is that the OLED market has roughly doubled in the last three years and is still expected to grow for the years to come. Fact is that many TV manufacturers and computer companies, including Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Razer, are releasing new OLED based devices on the market and have many more in the pipeline. And fact is that the major OLED manufacturers, including Samsung and LG, are still investing massively in research to improve the technology.

Don't know, not my job. But I do cringe when Cook says "Amazing" and wonder what world he lives in, certainly not mine.
I went from buying new Apple hardware, laptops, phones, and desktops, every tow to three years to not buying any unless it was absolutely necessary. And that was not because of finances.
I'm in the process of converting anything that can to Linux. The hardware is more performant, the cost is lower by an order of magnitude, I don't have to be locked into Apple's restricted control of my devices, I don't have to limit what software I install, and I don't have to endorse Apple's political correctness.
Yeah, I like Apple's privacy policy, but like everything else Apple does I wonder if that policy is really only marketing with no real teeth. People still cannot create their own encrypted iCloud containers. So I suspect that we'll find out in the future that Apple struck a deal with the NSA, CIA, and the FBI to give them access to whatever they want, without Apple's knowledge of course.
I think everyone was hoping the burn-in issue would eventually be solved... well, looks like it won't happen.It's funny - a few years back OLED was the holy grail and second coming all rolled into one.....now it's a POS obsolete technology!![]()
Yikes. So this company that spends billions on engineering and making new products is doing everything wrong and you don’t even know what they could be doing right?Don't know, not my job. But I do cringe when Cook says "Amazing" and wonder what world he lives in, certainly not mine.

I'm glad to see that someone else noticed that the Emperor is freaking NAKED.

The display on MBPs is still very good but it's something that hasn't changed in a while. I'd look forward to a new display technology, but only if it's actually better. Burn-in won't be an improvement.
We first heard about a potential 16-inch to 16.5-inch MacBook Pro from well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said the notebook will launch at some point in 2019 with an "all-new design," but he did not comment on which display technology the notebook will use or share any other details.
And the base model will only cost $5000.
Key points from this article:
Yes, µLEDs are very likely the future, but even if I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, it's not an immediate future. It will be years until these displays become pervasive and affordable enough.MicroLED is the future, where everyone all invested in now.
