Yearning for foldable products from Apple?Western Archives A new report claims that at least one such product is coming, but it will be a long wait until it does.
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is working on a foldable, 20.3-inch MacBook, but it's expected to enter mass production in 2027.
While this may sound like good news – we're certainly interested in a portable Apple laptop with tons of screen real estate – there's actually quite a bit to unpack from Kuo's short tweet on the subject.

"Recently, I've received many inquiries about whether Apple plans to mass-produce the foldable iPhone or iPad in 2025 or 2026. My latest survey indicates that currently, Apple's only foldable product with a clear development schedule is the 20.3-inch MacBook, expected to enter mass production in 2027," Kuo wrote.
This indicates that the oft-rumored foldable iPhone and iPad are very, very far from mass production, despite recent rumors about these products being in development.
