According to Ross Young from Display Supply Chain Consultants, a foldable display laptop may be in the works for Apple.
A 20-inch foldable display from Apple, according to Young, may be available as early as 2026.
Despite this, we have included Apple in our foldable notebook plan. Around 20.x” is where we’ve heard a lot of interest thus far. A laptop with a full-size keyboard that can be used as a monitor when not folded and with an extra keyboard if the device is of this size might open up new product categories for Apple. At that size, it may also support UHD/4K resolution or even higher. However, the time span is expected to be 2026 or 2027, rather than 2025.
Apple is indeed working on this technology, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who echoed Young’s allegation. Gurman claims that Apple’s foldable may be used as either a Mac or an iPad depending on the user’s requirements in the newest issue of his Power On newsletter.
Apple will forego a conventional keyboard and trackpad in favour of a gadget that is entirely touch-based, according to Gurman:
According to Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants, Apple is working on a foldable tablet with an approximately 20-inch screen. A lot of people have speculated about how Apple may use this technology: With a foldable 20-inch screen, the business could either use a real keyboard connected to the screen or merely use one side of the display as an actual keyboard for typing. A foldable, dual-screen MacBook/iPad hybrid has been in the works for some time, according to reports.
A touch-screen base replaces the traditional keyboard and trackpad (the Lenovo model above gives you a sense of what that might look like). If you haven’t heard, the gadget has been under development for a few of years now. Apple’s automobile and its long-anticipated augmented reality glasses, according to Young, are both expected to be available in 2026.
A foldable iPhone has long been rumoured, but the emphasis has been on an iPad or Mac rather than an iPad or Macbook. If Apple can produce a form factor and glass experience that hasn’t yet been mastered by other businesses like Samsung and Lenovo, then all possibilities are exciting to me.
Instead of a folding Mac/iPad combination, Apple is slated to unveil two new iPad Air models and at least one new Mac during a March event, according to rumours. source
