According to reports, Apple MacBook that has a foldable display might be released in 2026

Apple is apparently planning to release a foldable MacBook in two to three years. The screens for the forthcoming laptop might come from Samsung and LG's display businesses. According to one estimate, Apple's first foldable laptop would be released and sold in 2026. Laptops with foldable screens are presently available from companies such as Asus and Lenovo. In the meanwhile, Apple is likely to release its foldable smartphone around 2025. The Cupertino-based computer behemoth is also rumoured to be in discussions to offer a foldable iPad next year, expanding the company's product line.

According to BusinessKorea, Apple might release a foldable laptop as early as 2026. According to the story, which cites industry sources, Apple is in negotiations with suppliers such as Samsung and LG about releasing new foldable MacBook models. The first foldable MacBook model might be introduced in 2025 and put on sale later in 2026.

Apple's foray into the foldable display laptop market is expected to revitalise the display sector, which has been stagnant. According to the article, Korean firms are coordinating development and manufacturing plans for foldable OLED panels for laptops in anticipation of the opening of the foldable panel market for IT products. Samsung Display is allegedly investing KRW 4.1 trillion (about Rs. 25,539 crore) on the development of 8.6-generation OLED display panels between 2025 and 2026. LG Display, on the other hand, is said to be investing in the manufacturing of mid-size OLED panels, such as those for tablets and PCs.

Asus and Lenovo are now the industry leaders in laptops with foldable displays. Apple, on the other hand, has yet to announce plans for a folding MacBook. As a result, this material should be taken with a grain of salt.

Apple is also expected to release a foldable smartphone around the year 2025. The business submitted a patent in March of this year for a novel technology that would safeguard iPhone and iPad models with flexible displays from being harmed even when dropped from a great height. With this new technology, electronics will be able to sense when they are falling and fold up on the way to the ground to minimise damage.
