Samsung is likely to reintroduce variable aperture technology in its smartphones, possibly with the Galaxy S27 Ultra in 2027, as a response to Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 series and new foldable form factors, with ongoing experiments on foldable screens and camera features.
Apple is reportedly planning to launch an "all-screen" MacBook with a foldable display in 2026, moving up from an initial 2027 timeline. The device is expected to feature a 20.3-inch or 18.8-inch screen and an M5 series chip. High design specifications for a crease-free panel and hinge are driving up costs, potentially making the laptop as expensive as the Vision Pro headset.
Apple is rumored to be developing a foldable MacBook with a 20.2-inch or 18.8-inch screen, with LG expected to start mass production of the display panels in late 2025. The device, which aims to be nearly crease-free, could be as expensive as the Vision Pro headset and may feature the next-generation M5 chip. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts over one million units will ship in 2026, though the project is still in the prototyping stage.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple is planning to release a 20-inch MacBook with a foldable screen, expected to enter mass production in 2027. This would be Apple's only foldable product with a clear development schedule, with no details provided about the device's exact design. The new MacBook would have a screen measuring around 20 inches diagonally when fully expanded, and Kuo's statement suggests that a foldable iPhone or iPad may not be coming anytime soon.
A durability test and subsequent teardown autopsy of the Pixel Fold revealed that the device's polished aluminum frame snapped at various antenna lines, causing the cover screen to become loose. The blame was placed on Google for not using a more rigid material in their quest to make the Pixel Fold the lightest and thinnest foldable device. The teardown also showcased the inner components, including the battery, earpiece, copper vapor chamber, and waterproofing mechanism. The video concluded with a detailed disassembly of the hinge, explaining its custom dual-axis, quad-cam synchronized mechanism.
