It’ll be interesting to see if Apple adopts QD film for the M4 MacBook Air, which uses an LED display, instead of the mini-LED display in the MacBook Pro. Reports say that the new Air will be revealed in the spring of 2025 and it’s expected to be nothing more than a chip upgrade.

That's according to prominent display analyst Ross Young, anyway. Young took to X on Thursday to point out that Apple has adopted a "quantum dot" display for the M4 MacBook Pro.

The new M4 MacBook Pros that launched last month have an unadvertised change with new quantum dot displays, according to display industry analyst Ross Young and reported by 9to5Mac. Young posted on X that Apple is adopting quantum dot displays for the first time and that it's using a version of the film that is free of cadmium,

Apple’s recently launched MacBook Pro with the new M4 chips apparently come with a previously unannounced display upgrade. According to Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants, the M4 MacBook Pro models have a quantum dot (QD) film in their display, replacing the red KSF phosphor film used in previous versions.

In the past, Apple went with the KSF solution due to better efficiency and lack of cadmium (Cd), but the… pic.twitter.com/5olq9lEHs9

The new MacBook Pro range was announced recently, but aside from the new M4 chips, they weren't really shown as a groundbreaking upgrade from their predecessors. They didn't even get their own keynote. As it turns out, these laptops do, in fact, have a massive new improvementthe display.

The M4 MacBook Pro models may be featuring quantum dot technology. The jury is still out on whether these displays are better than before.

Since its release this month, the new MacBook Pro M4 has comfortably established itself as one of the best laptops you can buy. While Apple made a big deal of the improvements brought by the M4 processor and the inclusion of a glare-limiting nano-texture display, it now seems there may be another big improvement that the company didn’t mention.

Apple's new M4 MacBook Pro has a significant upgrade to the display, and the company somehow forgot to mention it.
