Apple Reportedly Developing 18.8-Inch Foldable Device Running macOS

The hybrid MacBook-iPad concept is expected to launch by early 2027, with mass production slated for late 2026.

Apple's foldable device will reportedly feature an 18.8-inch display and run macOS, distinguishing it from iPadOS-based iPads.
Described as a hybrid between a MacBook and an iPad, the device aims to combine portability with desktop-class functionality.
Mass production is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with a launch anticipated by early 2027.
The device is part of Apple's broader strategy to introduce foldable technology and touchscreen Macs, supported by updates to macOS and iOS.
Analyst Jeff Pu suggests the foldable iPad/Mac and a foldable iPhone may launch around the same time.
