Laptops with foldable screens are nothing new, but the big question many people might have is “when will Apple release a foldable MacBook?” According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, we could see one arrive in about three years, with a 20-inch screen.
Posting in Twitter/XKuo claims that this is (so far) Apple’s only foldable product “with a clear development schedule.” That means the foldable iPhone or iPad, whichever device the rumored iPhone Flip ends up being, won’t arrive in 2025 or 2026. as previously speculated.
However, Kuo’s comment doesn’t mean that a foldable iPhone isn’t being developed somewhere at Apple. Only, according to his sources, there is no established schedule for when this product could arrive. There were rumors last month claiming that the foldable phone could launch alongside the iPhone 18 in 2026. But again in December the rumor was that the iPhone Flip would launch in 2027, a year later.
If rumors can’t decide when the foldable iPhone will arrive, then Kuo’s claim makes sense. You can’t accurately predict the arrival of a new product if Apple also doesn’t know when it might arrive.
However, Kuo does not give many details about the foldable MacBook. Except that the device will have a 20.3-inch screen and is expected to go into mass production sometime in 2027. It is not the first time we have heard about such a device, with rumors dating back more than two years.
More recently, those rumors have spread to a larger screen device, with reports that Samsung was developing a foldable MacBook display in the 20 inch size range. Last month it was reported, as Kuo claims, that Apple’s first foldable device will be a device with a larger screenand? could arrive sometime in 2027.
Unfortunately, 2027 is a long way off and that means we will have to sit back and be patient. After all, Apple still hasn’t released a MacBook with OLED display Or even a touch screen yet. So there’s still plenty of room for screen upgrades before folding screens are added to the mix.
