Foldable MacBook Coming in 2026! Wrinkle-Free Screen and M5 Chip
Apple has taken a step ahead of its competitors in foldable screen technology by offering a wrinkle-free screen. LG Display will produce a special 20.25-inch screen panel. Additionally, Apple is considering a smaller model with an 18.8-inch version. This means that when folded, this device will transform into a 14-15 inch or 13-14 inch laptop.
Apple is focused on developing a screen that is as wrinkle-free as possible to stand out from its competitors. Of course, this technology is not cheap. According to Kuo, the screen cost will be around $600-650, and the hinge cost will be about $200-250. However, these costs are expected to decrease as production efficiency increases.
Apple has revealed how it can differentiate itself from all foldable devices with its new patent. Here are the details...
The foldable MacBook will come with the highly anticipated but yet-to-be-announced M5 chip. Currently, Apple is focused on the M4 family and plans to release the M4 Ultra processor towards the end of 2025. The M5 chip is expected to be particularly geared towards artificial intelligence applications, meaning Apple will strive to push the boundaries of technology and AI with the new MacBook.
Yes, this new MacBook looks like it will be quite expensive. However, Kuo believes that this device will not have low sales figures like the Apple Vision Pro. It is expected that the foldable M5 MacBook will sell over a million units in 2026. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
