Apple is reportedly moving forward with plans to introduce an OLED iMac, aiming for a launch between 2029 and 2030. Recent updates indicate that the company has solicited samples from Samsung and LG to evaluate displays that meet its specifications, focusing on QD-OLED technology.
While Apple has previously integrated OLED in devices like the Apple Watch and iPhone, the iMac has seen minimal advancements in display technology. The decision to implement OLED is driven by a desire for improved display quality, as Apple seeks to achieve 220 PPI compared to the current maximum of 160 PPI available in existing QD-OLED models.
The complexity of producing larger QD-OLED screens presents a challenge, with initial models expected to be within the 24- to 27-inch range. Industry sources suggest that Samsung may become the primary supplier at launch due to its advancements in QD-OLED production.
