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,

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

Apple outdid itself with the M4 MacBook Pro. Now, a top insider revealed yet another major change that no one knew about until now.

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

The M4 MacBook Pro has a hidden feature: quantum dot tech in the display. As such, the latest systems have an expanded color range and should deliver improved motion performance.

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.

Big Apple display news, they have adopted quantum dots for the first time. The latest MacBook Pro’s (M4) use a quantum dot (QD) film rather than a red KSF phosphor film. Young says this provides the latest models with two advantages over earlier models.

A display analyst shared that Apple has shifted from traditional red KSF phosphor film to quantum dot film in the latest MacBook Pro models with M4.

The M4 MacBook Pro features a quantum dot display, something Apple made no mention of. Here are all the details on this.

The M4's single-core performance is between 14 and 21 percent faster than the M3s in our tests, and tests that use all the CPU cores are usually 20 or 30 percent faster. The GPU is occasionally as much as 33 percent faster than the M3 in our tests, though more often, the improvements are in the single or low double digits.
