Apple has reportedly scrapped plans for two new MacBook models, including a large foldable MacBook and a larger OLED model that would have sat above the current MacBook Pro lineup.
According to research firm Omdia, Apple has canceled development of a foldable MacBook that would have measured between 16.1 and 18 inches when unfolded. The device had previously been linked to a 2026 production window, although earlier reports had described it as a large foldable iPad rather than a MacBook.
Apple has also apparently dropped plans for a separate OLED MacBook measuring between 14.4 and 16.1 inches. This model would have occupied a new tier between the existing MacBook Pro sizes and the cancelled foldable MacBook. With both products seemingly off the roadmap, the 14.3- to 16.3-inch range will remain reserved for the MacBook Pro lineup.
That doesn’t mean Apple is backing away from OLED MacBooks altogether. Omdia says the company’s broader plan to bring OLED displays across its MacBook and iPad ranges remains intact, although Apple has reportedly changed which products will receive the technology and which OLED technology they’ll use.
One of those changes could be a new 13.8-inch MacBook positioned between the LCD MacBook Air and OLED MacBook Pro. The machine is reportedly being developed with a new OLED panel featuring LTPO+ tech.

Interestingly, Apple isn’t expected to immediately retire its existing mini-LED MacBook Pro models when the OLED versions arrive. Omdia says the two display technologies could remain on sale alongside each other for several years, with the mini-LED models potentially continuing until at least 2028.
For now, the foldable MacBook and larger OLED model appear to be out of Apple’s plans, but the company’s wider MacBook OLED push is still very much alive.
