Apple has canceled plans for a foldable MacBook and a larger OLED MacBook Pro model, according to research firm Omdia.
In a new research note, Omdia said Apple has abandoned development of a large foldable MacBook that would have measured between 16.1 and 18 inches when unfolded. This device was previously reported to have fallen out of its original 2026 production window, with Omdia among the companies tracking it at the time, although in those earlier reports it was generally described as a large-screen foldable iPad rather than a MacBook.
Apple also apparently canceled a separate, previously planned MacBook with an OLED display between 14.4 and 16.1 inches, which would sit on its own level between the standard MacBook Pro sizes and the canceled foldable. With the removal of these two product lines, the 14.3-inch to 16.3-inch size range will apparently remain exclusive to the MacBook Pro series in the future.
Omdia said Apple’s broader strategy of integrating OLED displays across its entire iPad and MacBook lineup hasn’t changed, but the company has reworked which products will get OLED and what specific OLED technology each uses, a change that matches changes detailed in Apple’s 2026 and 2027 product roadmap.
As part of that same redesign, Apple would add a new 13.8-inch MacBook positioned between the MacBook Air LCD and the OLED MacBook Pro, using a new generation of OLED technology that includes an LTPO+ backplane, an under-panel camera, and on-encapsulation color filter technology, among other features. This new 13.8-inch model appears to fill the gap in Apple’s lineup that the now-canceled 14.4- to 16.1-inch OLED MacBook would have filled, positioned below the Pro rather than above it.
The 14.3-inch and 16.3-inch MacBook Pro OLED models, also called “MacBook Ultra,” are expected to be announced in the second half of 2026 or early 2027. Omdia added that Apple will not discontinue existing mini-LED MacBook Pro models in those sizes when the higher-end OLED versions arrive, and both Display types are expected to be sold in parallel for several years, with the mini-LED version likely continuing until at least 2028.
