The technology that allows us to design and produce folding screens has been growing exponentially in recent years, with some devices already among us like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or the Huawei Mate an iPhone or iPad with a foldable screen has emerged in recent years but without much apparent success. However, Ming Chi-Kuo, a well-known analyst, assures that since Cupertino They are working on a foldable MacBook with a 20.3-inch screen that could be scheduled for production in 2027.
Neither iPhone nor iPad… Apple is already working on a foldable MacBook
Ming Chi-Kuo publishes his rumors, analyzes and future outlook for Apple every week. On this occasion, in a tweet published on the social network answered one of the questions I received the most in recent weeks: if Apple was working on an iPhone or iPad with a foldable screen. The simple answer is no.

I’ve been asked several times recently whether Apple plans to mass produce a foldable iPhone or iPad in 2025 or 2026. My latest survey shows that Apple’s only foldable product with a clear development timeline is the MacBook, which is equipped with a screen of around 20.3 inches and is expected to be mass-produced in 2027.

Apparently, Cupertino is working on foldable displays for these devices, but they are not ready for production in 2025 or 2026, as Kuo publishes. However, Apple is reportedly actively working on a MacBook with a foldable screen. This Mac would be the first Big Apple device with this technology and it appears, according to Kuo, that it would have a 20.3 inch screen.
This rumor is entirely in line with what other informants like Ross Young or Ming Chi-Kuo himself published at the beginning of 2023 where they predicted a new Mac with a folding screen but with much closer dates. As for dates, this new rumor suggests that Production would begin in 2027. It’s still many years before that date, but at least we have information that Apple is working on a foldable device. Will we finally see a foldable Mac? Will the technology of these screens advance further to adapt them to an iPhone or iPad sooner?
