Apple plans to introduce OLED displays in the 14-inch and 16-inch M6 MacBook Pro models for the first time. Samsung will serve as the exclusive supplier for these screens. The Korean manufacturer has achieved over 90 percent yield rates with its 8.6th-generation OLED technology. This milestone meets the stringent requirements of the display industry.
Samsung production capacity supports global rollout plans for new laptops
Samsung currently operates at a production capacity of 7,500 monthly sheets. This output represents half of its maximum threshold. At this rate, Samsung can supply approximately 2 million units to Apple. Mass production is scheduled to begin as early as June.
Apple expects to launch the redesigned M6 MacBook Pro models with a slimmer chassis and touchscreen capabilities. The new design replaces the traditional notch with a punch-hole camera cutout. Industry observers suggest that achieving these supplier milestones indicates a smooth launch without supply chain disruptions for Apple.
Samsung reportedly accelerated its yield improvements due to competition from BOE, which also entered the market for Apple OLED orders. The Elec reported on Samsung's production progress and the competitive landscape surrounding the M6 MacBook Pro display supply.
