macOS Golden Gate Seems to Hint at MacBook Pro With OLED Display

macOS Golden Gate Liquid Glass UI HDRAs noted by Broadcasts developer Steven Troughton-Smith, many Liquid Glass interface elements on the macOS Golden Gate beta have an even glassier appearance on certain high-end OLED displays with HDR support than they do on ordinary displays.

Apple reportedly plans to release new MacBook Pro or "MacBook Ultra" models with an OLED display by early 2027, so it is likely that macOS Golden Gate has these Liquid Glass enhancements in preparation for those laptops.

iPhones have been OLED since the iPhone X nearly a decade ago.

Have you ever once noticed burn-in on your iPhone?
Phone usage is very different from laptop usage. I don't think I've ever had my phone screen on for hours with a bright static element on it, but I do that with my laptop every single day.
