The former would, when folded, resemble a current 14-15-inch MacBook, while the latter would correspond better to a modern day 13-14-inch model like the smaller MacBook Air.<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0<strong><em>2026 debut<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is now expected for the device, one year earlier than previously reported.<\/li>\n<li>The MacBook is expected to receive an\u00a0<strong><em>M5-series chip<\/em><\/strong>, which lines up with the expected timeline of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/05\/13\/m4-when-on-the-mac\/\">M4 spreading to the whole Mac lineup<\/a>\u00a0by the end of 2025.<\/li>\n<li>Apple\u2019s goal is to provide a\u00a0<strong><em>crease-free design<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0for the foldable display.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is Kuo on Apple\u2019s design ambitions:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Apple aims to make the panel as crease-free as possible, requiring high design specifications for both the panel and the hinge. As a result, the cost of the panel and hinge is very high. Current preliminary estimates put the panel and hinge costs at around $600\u2013650 and $200\u2013250, respectively.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This high component cost means this MacBook is expected to reach a starting price point that greatly exceeds Apple\u2019s current laptop line. Kuo writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Given the high cost of the display and hinge, the foldable MacBook is likely to be expensive. Unless Apple can significantly improve yields and reduce costs before mass production, the BOM cost of the foldable MacBook could approach that of the current Vision Pro.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"h-9to5mac-s-take\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">9to5Mac\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n<p>An all-screen foldable MacBook sounds like a futuristic device in many respects. Not only has Apple never produced an all-screen foldable, but the thought of a MacBook potentially launching without a physical keyboard or trackpad seems unlikely. 2026 is still a decent ways off, but if that new targeted release date does hold true, we should expect to hear a steady drip of additional reporting on the device in the months and years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>source:<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/05\/23\/all-screen-m5-macbook-with-foldable-display-rumored-for-2026\/\">All-screen M5 MacBook with foldable display now rumored for 2026 &#8211; 9to5Mac<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 23 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[609],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-industrial-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25763"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25766,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25763\/revisions\/25766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
