  • A new leak suggests that Apple’s first non-iPhone foldable will be a MacBook, not an iPad.
  • Due to technical difficulties, Apple has reportedly delayed releasing its foldable MacBook from 2026 to late 2027 or 2028.
  • The foldable will likely feature an 18.8-inch display, and there won’t be a 20.25-inch variant.

Earlier this month, a report suggested that Apple may release a foldable phone and a foldable tablet as soon as 2026. However, it now appears that Apple’s first non-iPhone foldable will actually be a MacBook rather than an iPad, and it likely won’t launch anytime soon.
