**There is information that Apple is working on developing a MacBook with a folding screen, supporting touch and will be announced in 2025.** According to an article published on Korean news site *Business Korea*, ( Apple)(https://zingnews.vn/tieu-diem/cong-ty-apple.html) is at the stage of developing a foldable screen laptop. The company began negotiating with suppliers to prepare for the arrival of this particular MacBook. If the product becomes a reality, it could revive the currently quiet screen manufacturing market, the source said. Accordingly, the foldable MacBook will be announced in 2025 and released in the following year. Korean display manufacturers such as Samsung Display and LG Display have invested a lot in OLED panels for laptops in recent times, when the smartphone market shows signs of saturation. Samsung Display decided to invest $3.1 billion to produce OLED panels in the period 2025-2026. LG Display is also investing in medium-sized OLED panels, including panels for tablets. Both companies are now “coordinating plans for the development and production of foldable OLED panels for laptops” as this nascent market begins to grow. An order from Apple is sure to make a big splash. According to the source, the large screen will certainly be profitable for panel manufacturers, although it is difficult to achieve high pixel density. Besides, it is easier to manufacture folding screens of laptops than folding screens for smartphones. So this will be a big business opportunity for companies. Currently, the leading brand in the folding screen laptop market is Asus. In September 2022, the company introduced the world’s first 17-inch foldable OLED laptop, the ZenBook 17 Fold OLED. This product uses a panel of BOE manufacturer from China.
