Gezixuan reported on November 15 that Ross Young found that Apple's newly launched 2024 MacBook Pro uses quantum dot display technology.

He said Apple uses a quantum dot film in the display of the new MacBook Pro instead of the red KSF phosphor film, resulting in a more vivid and accurate display.

It is claimed that Apple has been using KSF because it does not contain the toxic element "cadmium", and it is more efficient and less costly.

In fact, back in 2015, when Apple launched the first-generation Retina MacBook Pro model, there were Apple executives who said that quantum dot technology was considered at the time, but it was rejected because of cadmium.

With suppliers developing cadmium-free quantum dot display technology that also brings the same or even higher color gamut and better dynamic display than KSF, it's no surprise that Apple is turning to quantum dot display technology.

However, Gezixuan noticed that Apple's official website did not highlight the improvement brought by the M4 MacBook Pro in terms of color, but the maximum SDR brightness was indeed increased to 1000 nits (the previous model was 600 nits).
