Multiple outlets report that Apple plans to upgrade color performance in future OLED devices, citing a TrendForce report. The research firm says Apple’s next generation OLED panels for products such as future MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iMac models are expected to target a substantially wider color gamut than current Apple displays. Specifically, the panels reportedly aim to cover 95% of the BT.2020 color standard, which represents a broader range of colors than the DCI-P3 standard that Apple screens commonly target today.
Sources say achieving BT.2020-level coverage would require changes to OLED emissive materials used inside each pixel, including adjustments intended to improve color purity, efficiency, and durability. TrendForce is also described as expecting competition among panel makers to shift toward balancing color performance with power consumption and lifespan rather than relying only on factors such as brightness and thinness.
Apple introduced OLED in the iPad Pro in 2024, and the reports suggest OLED would reach the MacBook Pro between 2026 and early 2027, with adoption potentially occurring gradually across multiple product lines. Apple has not publicly confirmed BT.2020 support, and the specific source of the TrendForce information is not identified in the coverage.
