Reports hint that these MacBook Pro versions, set to be unveiled in the last quarter of 2023, will be equipped with mini-LED backlights. This change promises a brightness enhancement of 10% compared to the first-gen models.
While it might sound like screens will shine brighter, the primary advantage of these advanced mini-LEDs won’t be a glaring difference in luminosity. They’re designed to maintain existing brightness levels, yet draw less power.
Since introducing mini-LED backlighting in their tablets and notebooks, Apple’s specifications remained relatively static. However, the next MacBook Pro series is anticipated to feature mini-LEDs that outshine their predecessors by 10%. Interestingly, this doesn’t involve increasing the number of mini-LED chips in the backlight assembly.
Sources emphasize that the brightness bump isn’t targeting enhanced visuals but rather prioritizing energy conservation and prolonging battery lifespan. The delivery of these screens is projected for late 2023.
However, skepticism surrounds the proposed 2023 MacBook Pro release.
While these rumors persist, some industry voices question the timeframe provided by DigiTimes’ recent supply chain analysis. Given Apple’s M2 Pro and M2 Max chipset update to the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models earlier this year, many speculate the refreshed line-up might be a 2024 affair.
Renowned voices like Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman anticipate the succeeding MacBook Pro models, possibly sporting M3 Pro and M3 Max processors, to debut by mid-2024 at the latest. In tandem, expert Ming-Chi Kuo envisions the introduction of MacBook Pro versions powered by 3-nanometer M3 Pro and M3 Max chips in 2024.
On a related note, MacRumors recently unveiled insights suggesting Apple might soon roll out trade-in options for its latest Macs, fueling speculations about an impending Mac release.
In the broader screen technology perspective, it might be until 2026 before we witness the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models transitioning to OLED displays. It seems the production ecosystem for OLED screens tailored for laptops might take that long to mature.
