Jump to Summary

Apple is reportedly developing a foldable MacBook, targeting a release in 2026. According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the company is considering two display options for the device: a 20.3-inch and an 18.8-inch screen. The displays, provided exclusively by LG Display, are expected to enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2025, with assembly beginning in the first half of 2026. The foldable MacBook will likely feature Apple's M5 chip, slated for introduction to the Mac lineup by 2025.

The device aims to offer a crease-free design, necessitating high specifications for both the panel and hinge. The cost of the display is anticipated to be between $600 and $650, while the hinge could range from $200 to $250, potentially driving up the overall bill of materials for the product. This high cost might result in a significantly higher retail price compared to current MacBook models. Apple is still deciding between the two display size options, which would align with the dimensions of existing MacBook Air and Pro lines.
