Apple is working on a foldable 20” MacBook — Interesting…

Ross Young has reported a thing that we pretty much don’t care about and a thing that is interesting…

Getting into the boring report: first off, he says that after discussions with his supply chain sources, Apple is pretty much setting its priorities to the foldable iPhone to low, resulting his expectations that the foldable phone will be released in 2025 instead of next year.

We delayed our expectations for Apple entering the foldable smartphone market by two years to 2025 after discussions with our supply chain contacts. The company does not appear to be in a hurry to enter the foldable smartphone market, and it may even take longer than that.

Now here’s the interesting story: Apple is working on a large 20” MacBook that is a foldable. Yep, a foldable. For more information, Ross Young believes that it would create a new category for Apple and would end up becoming a two-in-one laptop for example making it almost a full-sized keyboard when the display is folded but if it’s not, regular MacBook. And it may also allow at least 4K resolution or higher due to it being large, and is likely to release in 2026 or 2027.

On the other hand, we are now showing Apple in our roadmap for foldable notebooks. We hear there is interest at the largest size yet, around 20.x”. This size could create a new category for Apple and would result in a true dual use product, a notebook with a full-size keyboard when folded and for use as a monitor when not folded and used with an external keyboard. It may also allow for UHD/4K resolution or even higher at that size. The time frame is likely later than 2025 though, it could be 2026 or 2027.

Sure, it would be good news for the foldable space as I don’t think there is a foldable laptop that existed can be used as a thicc external keyboard or a regular laptop. For those who are wondering, why no tablet-laptop MacBook just like windows laptops? Well, this is to prevent arm pain and is pretty much not a good idea.
