The company is no longer producing a foldable MacBook measuring 16.1 to 18 inches when unfolded, as well as a larger OLED MacBook Pro with a display size between 14.4 and 16.1 inches.

This new model is expected to bridge the gap left by the canceled 14.4 to 16.1 inch OLED MacBook Pro. The 14.3 and 16.3 inch OLED MacBook Pro models, known as the \"MacBook Ultra,\" are anticipated to be unveiled in the second half of 2026 or early 2027.
