Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared new information about a foldable laptop that Apple is allegedly working on. It is noted that in 2026, the company from Cupertino may release more than 1 million foldable devices with a 20-inch display. This contradicts his previous forecasts that shipments would begin in 2027.
Previous rumors claimed that Apple would choose a 20-inch display for its foldable device. However, Kuo now says that the company is also considering an 18.8-inch panel. It is reported that in the closed state, the 20-inch version will look like a 14-15-inch MacBook, while the 18.8-inch device will look like a 13-14-inch MacBook.
Apple is collaborating with LG Display to make the foldable screen as "crease-free" as possible, - says Kuo. It is reported that the device will be equipped with an Apple M5 processor. It could go into production as early as the end of next year.
Supply chain analyst Ross Young first mentioned the 20-inch foldable Apple device in 2022. Later, this rumor was backed by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. At that time, Gurman said that the iPad and MacBook hybrid could feature a dual screen without a physical keyboard and trackpad.
The foldable MacBook is not the only foldable device that Apple is rumored to be working on. There are also rumors that Apple is developing at least two prototypes of foldable iPhones that fold horizontally. Rumors also suggest that Apple is working on a foldable iPad, which, according to Gurman, is still in the "early stages". The company is focused on eliminating any visible creases on the display of the folding iPad.
