Apple could adopt a wider color standard for future OLED displays, a move that could improve color accuracy and push beyond the capabilities of current premium OLED panels.

13-inch iPad Pro with OLED displayA TrendForce report published on June 29 says Apple plans to gradually adopt OLED panels that cover 95% of the BT.2020 color gamut in future MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iMac models. Reaching that wider color standard will require a new generation of OLED emissive materials.
The research firm says those materials can deliver higher color purity while maintaining brightness, power efficiency, and panel lifespan.
Apple hasn’t publicly announced plans to adopt BT.2020, and TrendForce didn’t identify the source of its report. If Apple’s roadmap unfolds as TrendForce expects, it would be one of the biggest display quality improvements since Apple introduced the OLED iPad Pro in 2024.
