Apple is working on a foldable MacBook that could launch in 2026, so I'm iPadOS 18 and macOS 15 will start building towards that future.
Two separate sources with great track records at reporting Apple rumors said last week that a foldable MacBook is on track to launch at some point in 2026. The expensive device could hit stores even earlier than expected, possibly featuring a crease-free display and the M5 chip. The foldable MacBook would look just like a MacBook Air when folded or operated in laptop mode. Perfectly unfolded, the device would become a massive 18.76-inch tablet or desktop display.
No matter how you look at it, macOS will need to support touchscreens by 2026. This will also impact the user interface. Menu items, buttons, and app icons will need to be large enough so you can target them with your finger. Then again, iPadOS already supports touch. What if the foldable MacBook will be sold as a foldable iPad with iPadOS running the show? Well, in this case you'd end up with the same problem that's affecting the M4 iPad Pro.
