San Francisco: Tech giant Apple is in talks with Samsung to launch a MacBook with a foldable display, media reports said.
While the product is expected to be unveiled in 2025, it will likely launch in 2026, SamMobile reported.
Samsung’s display division will gain influence, money and even more credibility if Apple introduces a foldable MacBook powered by a Samsung display, which will almost certainly increase the popularity of foldables.
With the intention of producing large-screen foldable OLED panels in 2025 and 2026, Samsung Display has decided to invest 4.1 trillion won ($3.1 billion) in them.
This action seems to support the idea that Apple will release a MacBook with a foldable display in the near future.
The iPhone maker takes its time and invests years in the prototyping and designing stages of the disruptive technology, and since the MacBook is a household name, the company needs to be extra careful, the report said.
In April, it was reported that Samsung Display had begun manufacturing 13.3-inch OLED panels for Apple’s upcoming MacBook Air.
Meanwhile, in January, another report noted that Samsung is working on a new technology, Lifelike Pixels, for its OLED screens.
