Apple’s rumored foldable 18.8-inch MacBook has had its entry into mass production delayed significantly, according to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Foldable MacBook survey update – mass production delayed significantly
1. Final display size spec confirmed at 18.8 inches. Apple has canceled the 20.25-inch design.
2. Due to technical challenges with the display and mechanical, the assembly mass production schedule has been pushed back from 1H26 to the end of 2027 or 2028.
3. Some market participants previously expected Apple to launch the foldable iPad in 2025, but the current supply chain survey indicates that the foldable iPad has no visibility. This may also be because some call this foldable MacBook a foldable iPad.
MacDailyNews Take: We really like our MacBook Pro keyboards when on the road, but we can image how useful a foldable MacBook could be, especially when opened fully to become a larger display for not only passively watching movies and videos, but also for use as a Mac with connected keyboard and mouse.
