While the latest rumors leaned towards the marketing of a folding iPhone or iPad in 2025/2026, the famous leaker Ming-Chi Kuo indicates that a MacBook equipped with a panel of this type is actively under development in Cupertino.
In a Twitter/X publication dating from this Thursday, March 7, 2024, the analyst explains that “Apple’s only folding product with a clear development schedule is the 20.3-inch MacBook”. Apple would thus seem to have a precise roadmap for implementing this screen technology on a first laptop, while the development of folding iPhones and iPads is still uncertain.
The latest article was quite pessimistic on this subject. Mid February, Fixed Focus Digital explained that Apple is still not satisfied with the folding panels for iPhone and iPad sent by Samsung.
For its part, the media The Elec informed at the start of the year that the American company is still looking for a killer feature to attract consumers with innovative functionality on its folding products.
Concerning the folding MacBook, Ming-Chi Kuo adds that mass production could begin in 2027, which suggests commercialization immediately.
The analyst is not the only one to have mentioned a MacBook with a 20-inch folding screen. During 2022, screen market specialist Ross Young, journalist Mark Gurman and even the media The Elec emphasized that Apple is interested in this type of product.
