I don’t care how much they improve the CPUs, not upgrading before OLED

is OLED unequivocally better than IPS?

I think so, more vivid colors and better blacks and viewing angles. At the risk of burnin.

I'm just worried about the burn in from coding

If you buy a macbook it's supposed to last a long time, but I'm kind of skeptical of getting one right when they release instead of a tried and tested IPS mbp

Make the screen a wear item then.

OLED has been better in every way except longevity since 2018.

6 years later I’m not buying a piece of garbage LCD for $6k
