Apple will update the MacBook Air with an OLED display for its 2028 incarnation, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Writing in his latest "Power On" newsletter, Gurman says that he expects the MacBook Air's transition from LCD to OLED to occur with the product's 2028 update, as part of a larger migration to OLED across the company's flagship iPad and MacBook models that includes the iPad mini, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and MacBook Air – and likely in that order.
Apple already uses OLED displays in the iPad Pro. There are apparently no plans to add OLED to the low-cost iPad. The MacBook Pro will be updated with an OLED display when it is next redesigned, perhaps as soon as late 2026, and it will include touch screen functionality, according to Gurman and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple is expected to update the MacBook Air with M5 chips early next year and that model will continue to feature an LCD display. If Apple follows an annual upgrade cycle, the first OLED MacBook Air will likely feature M7 chips. Gurman previously reported that Apple has already started early work on an OLED MacBook Air.
When the MacBook Air moves from LCD to OLED display technology, it will gain several advantages – brighter screens, deeper blacks with higher contrast, improved power efficiency that can extend battery life, and other enhancements.

I know that the "Steve Jobs would be rotating in his grave." phrase is overused, but every time I read the words "Touch Screen MacBook Pro" it comes to mind.
I don't see a problem with it. If you want to use it, you will. If you don't, you won't.
The problem is that they will degrade the UI in order to accommodate it (arguably they already started with that), just like Microsoft did, and people will be affected by it even if they use macOS on a non-touchscreen device or with a desktop monitor.
I've heard residents at work complain that MacBook's aren't touch when doing rounds. Sometimes touch is quicker when using a laptop while walking and standing..which happens a lot in a hospital.
Honest question - why use laptops instead of iPads or other similar devices instead of a laptop? Iy you want touch, that would seem like a better option, assuming whatever program you use has a version for the device.
