Apple ready to launch a foldable Macbook, according to Samsung
Samsung is pioneering the folding device market, so much so that several rival products now follow the stylistic guidelines of its Galaxy Z Fold e Flip. And according to some experts even Apple could follow in this field with an iPhone, but only in the future: it could arrive perhaps in 2025. And cost the beauty of 2,500 dollars, definitely more than Samsung’s Galaxy.

In addition, it would have the ability to use the Apple M series chips, which have proved to be powerful and capable of guaranteeing great autonomy.
