[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, the industry-focused full-screen foldable MacBook Pro is one step closer to reality. According to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's supply chain report, Apple is actively preparing for the release of this revolutionary product, which is expected to be available in multiple screen sizes such as 18.8 inches and 20.25 inches, and may come to consumers earlier than expected.
The design concept of the foldable MacBook Pro is derived from the iPad, and its unique foldable mid-section design will bring users an unprecedented user experience. Although the release will take some time, Apple has begun preparing the supply chain to ensure that the product can be launched smoothly.
As an exclusive panel supplier, LG Display plans to start mass production of the displays required for the foldable MacBook Pro in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first half of 2026. This timetable is at least one year ahead of previous predictions, showing Apple's emphasis and determination on this product.
It is reported that the foldable MacBook Pro will be equipped with M5 series chips to provide users with powerful performance support. At the same time, Apple is also committed to solving the crease problem of folding screens. Through higher-standard design and manufacturing, it ensures that the screen can remain flat when folded and improves the user experience.
However, the foldable MacBook Pro also costs relatively more due to its unique display and hinge system. Ming-Chi Kuo estimates that the cost of the panel and hinge may be as high as $600 to $650 and $200 to $250 respectively. Despite this, Apple is still confident in the market prospects of this product and expects its shipments to be much higher than similar products such as Apple Vision Pro.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that by 2026, foldable MacBook Pro shipments may exceed 1 million units. The release of this product will undoubtedly inject new vitality into Apple's laptop market, and will also lead the entire industry into a new stage of development.
