Apple’s reported development of an oxide LCD panel for the MacBook Air is another sign that the OLED MacBook Air is still a long way from becoming a reality.
Apple often updates the display technologies in its hardware, improving them in various ways as time rolls on. While OLED is considered to be what Apple is migrating towards across its product lines, it seems that the MacBook Air has a bit more of a wait ahead of it.
According to sources of TheElec on Monday, Apple is starting the development of displays for the MacBook Air that uses oxide thin-film-transistor (TFT) technology.
The 14-inch MacBook Air and 16-inch MacBook Pro have used an oxide TFT LCD since 2022, while the MacBook Air models have stuck to standard TFT LCD panels.
