Apple has canceled plans for a foldable MacBook and a larger OLED MacBook Pro model, according to research firm Omdia.

Apple has reportedly scrapped development of two anticipated MacBook models—a foldable laptop and a larger‑screen OLED MacBook Pro—according to research firm Omdia.

Background on the rumored devices

The foldable MacBook was said to feature a flexible display that could unfold into a tablet‑sized screen, while the OLED MacBook Pro was expected to offer a 16‑inch panel with higher brightness and contrast than current models.

Both concepts had generated buzz within the tech community, with analysts speculating they could signal Apple’s next major hardware push beyond the traditional clamshell design.

Omdia’s findings

Omdia’s latest supply‑chain report indicates that Apple’s manufacturing partners have not received the necessary components for either device, suggesting the projects have been halted.

The firm noted that while Apple continues to invest in OLED panels for future iPhone and iPad models, the company appears to be prioritizing other product lines over a new MacBook form factor.

Possible reasons for the cancellation

Analysts point to several factors that may have influenced Apple’s decision, including the high cost of foldable display technology, supply‑chain constraints, and the company’s focus on its silicon transition and upcoming MacBook Air refresh.

  • Cost and manufacturing complexity of foldable screens
  • Supply‑chain pressures affecting OLED panel availability
  • Strategic emphasis on Apple‑silicon performance gains

Apple has not issued an official comment, and the company’s product roadmap remains tightly guarded, leaving the market to interpret these supply‑chain signals.

“Apple’s decision reflects a pragmatic approach to balancing innovation with realistic production capabilities,” said an industry analyst familiar with Omdia’s data.

The cancellation does not preclude future exploration of new form factors, but for now, Apple’s MacBook lineup is expected to continue evolving within its current design language.
