If this turns out to be true, we can expect the MacBook Ultra to go official in September, possibly alongside Apple's foldable iPhone Ultra and the iPhone 18 Pro series.

The Omdia report further states that Apple will use hybrid OLED based on oxide TFT and RGB tandem OLED technology for the upcoming MacBook Pro (or Ultra) series. This combination is designed to lower power consumption compared to conventional LTPO and single-stack RGB OLED panels. The use of hybrid OLED displays is likely to enable thinner and lighter laptop designs by saving space for circuits and batteries.

The report also indicates that Apple's MacBook Pro series will drive notebook OLED display revenues to $4 billion (roughly 38,00,000 crore) in 2026.
