Apple plans to make a large foldable device with an 18.8-inch screen in the coming years. Reports differ about whether it will work as an iPad, a Mac, or both types combined. Huawei just showed its MateBook Fold, which looks like what Apple might create. The MateBook Fold gives us a preview of how these devices will look and work. Apple might release its first smaller foldable next year before this larger version arrives.
The Huawei device measures under 15mm thick when closed and 7.3mm when open. This makes it thinner than an iPhone 16 Pro but sturdy enough to resist breaking. Users can set up the device in many ways. It works flat like a tablet, paired with a keyboard like a PC, or bent like a laptop. When used as a laptop, the screen equals the size of a standard 13-inch display.
Huawei sells its base model with 32GB memory and 1TB storage for $3,300. The 2TB version costs $3,750. Apple will likely charge high prices for its foldable devices at first. As this technology becomes more common, prices may fall. These large folding screens offer new ways to work and play on portable devices.
