Apple is anticipated to introduce a foldable hybrid gadget that would resemble a cross between a tablet and a laptop. The renowned leaker of Apple-related information, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, has now revealed details on the company’s next foldable gadget.
Kuo claims that Apple is developing two of these hybrid foldable gadgets, which should be available for purchase in the first half of 2026. As a result, it will be a while before we see any of these gadgets.
This is in line with recent rumors that the gadget, which resembles a foldable tablet, would launch in late 2025 or early 2026. Two form factors, one measuring 20.25′′ and the other 18.8′′, are currently in development. These measurements should shrink to around 14–15′′ and 13–14′′ when folded, respectively.
To be competitive, these gadgets will have crease-free display panels, but this will come at a higher cost. provide chain reports from Apple indicate that LG, a well-known display manufacturer, will provide these panels.
The display screen will be matched with an expensive, premium hinge that Amphenol will supply. According to preliminary estimates, the panel alone should cost between $600-650 and the hinge, between $200 and $250.
Apple’s proprietary M5 processor is anticipated to power both smartphones.
