Apple may be ready to enter the foldable space as early as 2026. A massive leak report has shared details of what the company might have in store for upcoming devices.
Well-known leaker, Jukanlosreve recently shared on X that Apple may have plans to introduce a foldable iPhone in 2026, and a foldable iPad/MacBook device the following year in 2027. The informant noted that Apple is focusing on larger designs for the foldable iPhone, more like the Galaxy Z Fold line, the One Plus Fold, or Google Pixel Fold line. There is not much development for smaller models, similar to how Samsung has its Galaxy Z Flip line. Notably, all of the information remains rumor-based and should not be taken as confirmation on any of Apple’s plans for upcoming devices.

The prospective dimensions of the foldable iPhone are 9.2 mm folded and 4.6 mm flat. Apple is expected to use its own design solution to develop the device’s hinge, which will have its folding mechanism set on the left rear side. Its internal screen is described as being like “two 6.1‑inch phones folded together,” or just over 12 inches in width.
The source detailed that Apple plans to ship between 8 and 10 million units of its new iPhone design in 2026, ramping up to 20 million units in 2027. This is low in comparison to its slate-style devices, but to be expected with a new introduction to the market. The Cupertino-based company is expected to work exclusively with Foxconn to produce the devices in 2026, adding Luxshare to the production line in 2027 as it expects demand to grow.
The iPhone foldable is expected to feature a single front camera, and dual rear camera– with a main and ultra-wide lens. Tech Radar noted that keeping the number of lenses on the device low could be a cost-saving measure on what is already expected to be a rather pricey product.
The foldable iPhone is expected to have a battery capacity of 5,000mAh, which is not only significantly larger than Apple’s highly supported device battery, in the iPhone 16 Pro Max at 4,685mAh– it is larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 battery at 4,400mAh.
The foldable iPhone may also be a test bed for the foldable iPad/MacBook down the line. Prior rumors have suggested that Apple long had plans to release a 20-inch large-screen foldable device. Early rumors hinted at a foldable MacBook launching between 2026 and 2027. Bloomberg reporter, Mark Gurman has speculated that Apple may release a foldable iPad in the 2028 timeframe. Only time will tell how the actual launch cycle will unfold.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
