Samsung Display is reportedly ahead of schedule in producing 8.6-generation OLED panels for Apple's upcoming M6 MacBook Pro and Max models. The Asan site-based production line, originally slated for mass manufacturing in Q2 2026, has ramped up early, thanks to improved yields and cost efficiencies.

The advanced tandem OLED panels, featuring a double-stack design for higher brightness and longevity, are expected to debut in 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models as soon as early next year. This accelerated timeline could give Apple a competitive edge in premium laptop displays, with industry analysts also predicting the introduction of touchscreen capabilities in these new devices.
