An earlier report revealed that Apple plans to introduce two new iPad models with OLED screens in 2024, as LG and Samsung are expected to supply OLED screens for the popular iPad models, and it has also been speculated that the company will release foldable MacBooks within on 2027.
Now, a new report says the company has already begun work on a MacBook with a 20″ foldable screen. According to a report by The Elec, Apple will use a 20.25-inch OLED screen that will be shipped from an “unknown South Korean supplier.” The supplier could be Samsung. But the report did not confirm it. The company is already supplying OLED screens to Apple for its upcoming iPad models.
Furthermore, Samsung is also a major player in the market for foldable devices and screens.
It is possible that the alleged foldable MacBook will have a foldable 20.25″ OLED screen when opened, while the screen will be 15.3″ when the device remains folded. For comparison, the top version of the latest iPad Pro features a 12.9-inch screen, but the screen size The next folded device will be smaller than the latest 16-inch MacBook Pro.
Apple isn’t expected to release the foldable MacBook before iPads and MacBooks transition to OLED screens, and the company currently only uses OLED screens for its premium Apple Watch and iPhone models. The remaining Apple products come with mini-LED or LCD screens.
According to the report, the company may also be planning to replace the current iPad Mini with a 10-inch foldable device and the report also indicates that despite all the rumors, Apple has yet to start work on a foldable iPhone.
