Rumor: Apple is working on a laptop with a folding screen
By ForGeeks Apple is rumored to be working on a laptop with a folding screen. The company is in talks with suppliers to launch a MacBook with a foldable screen. This device will catalyze the sluggish display market if it comes to fruition.
It will be released in 2026 after a presentation in 2025. Korean display manufacturers such as Samsung Display and LG Display have invested heavily in OLED panels for laptops recently, now that the smartphone market is nearly saturated. Both companies are now «coordinating plans to develop and produce foldable OLED panels for laptops» as the nascent market for them grows.
Apple’s order will definitely make a huge dent in this still tiny market. According to the report’s source, larger display sizes will be more profitable for panel makers, even though it’s increasingly difficult to achieve high pixel densities as display size increases. Nonetheless, foldable displays for laptops are more profitable than foldable displays for smartphones, so this will obviously be a huge opportunity for display manufacturers to make extra money in the near future.
