Apple delays foldable iPhone, but considers 20-inch MacBook

Apple has apparently delayed a foldable smartphone until 2025, but is now considering a foldable laptop as well.

This was announced by authoritative analyst Ross Young (Ross Young), founder of research companies Display Supply Chain Consultants and DisplaySearch.

In a recent DSCC report on upcoming foldable devices, Yang explained that the long-rumored iPhone has been delayed until 2025. Previously, various analysts predicted that the device would be released in 2023 or 2024.

At the same time, Apple is exploring the possibility of launching foldable laptops with a flexible screen on the market. The company is reportedly in discussions with its suppliers for foldable laptops with displays around 20 inches in size.

According to Yang, this device could become a new product category for Apple. Such a gadget can work as a laptop with a full-size on-screen keyboard when folded and as a monitor when opened with an external keyboard connected. Yang added that the foldable design could deliver 4K resolution or higher at the sizes Apple is investigating.

The launch date for the foldable laptop is predicted to be later than 2025, with 2026 or 2027 being seen as a likely possibility.
