Apple Expected To Launch Foldable MacBook In 2025
While the foldable smartphone market has seen significant growth and numerous brands entering the market, the foldable laptop segment remains relatively underdeveloped, with Asus being the sole option available. However, Apple may disrupt this landscape by introducing its own MacBook foldable model, rumored to be released by 2026.
Apple could work with Samsung or LG on a foldable display, making it an intriguing development in the industry for the next few years. Foldable devices are likely to be Apple’s next big technological frontier, and the foldable MacBook could start the era with an expected product announcement in 2025, while the product will be officially released in 2026, similar to the Apple Vision Pro release timelines.
Samsung is likely to benefit the most from Apple’s product schedules, with the South Korean brand seemingly betting billions on a foldable OLED panel manufacturing unit that could eventually make its way into its own products.
After all, the company already has foldable screens for phones, and moving to laptops will be an obvious growth move. Going back to foldable Macs, expect Apple to put an amazing price tag on the product, which we saw with the Apple Vision Pro headset earlier this year.
In addition to Macs, we may also see the first OLED iPad Pro series in the next 12 months, and eventually move to the consumer OLED MacBook Pro in the next few years, before the foldable technology catches up with the company.
The only foldable laptop available in the market comes from Asus, with the ZenBook Fold 17 currently priced at over Rs 3 lakh and the technology is likely to continue to become significantly more affordable in the coming years, giving Apple more room to introduce its foldable version of macOS and make it an industry leader. reference point.
