Apple Reportedly Planning New MacBook Pro Models With Mini-LED in 2023, Conflicting With M3 Launch Rumors

Apple reportedly plans to launch new 14" and 16" MacBook Pro models with more power-efficient mini-LED displays in Q4 2023. The displays will be 10% brighter but use less power.

The launch timing conflicts with rumors of 14" and 16" MacBook Pro refreshes coming in 2024 with M3 Pro/Max chips.

iPad Pro models may switch from mini-LED to OLED displays in 2024, while MacBook Pro may not switch to OLED until 2026 due to burn-in concerns.

DigiTimes sources often provide reliable info but the site has a mixed track record interpreting Apple's plans, so skepticism is warranted.

Several other recent Apple rumors are mentioned, including wireless charging breaking iPhone 15 NFC chips in BMWs and an imminent iOS update to address iPhone 15 Pro overheating.
