In addition to the famous foldable iPhone, Apple would also work on a foldable iPad. Supply chain sources say Apple is exploring the possibility of launching a tablet with a gigantic screen that folds in half.
The foldable iPhone and iPad have been in the news for many years, but no device has been built yet. Apple, however, would not have given up on the idea. In addition to a foldable iPhone capable of self-repair, Cupertino’s firm would still consider launching a foldable iPad in the near future.
In a report shared by DigiTimes, sources close to Apple’s supply chain say a foldable iPad is still in the box. However, we were not given a single date. Earlier this year, analyst Ross Young shared that a 20.5 MacBook Pro with foldable screen would arrive in 2025, but that the foldable iPad was not on the horizon. Would Apple have changed its release schedule?
A foldable iPad before the foldable iPhone?
The report claims that Apple is thinking about bringing its foldable smartphone project to the tablet market. Apple is rumored to have been working on foldable devices for several years. He therefore corroborates the previous leaks about a foldable tablet. These comments suggest that the foldable iPhone would still be released before the foldable iPad. Its development would already be more advanced.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg and Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants said earlier this year that they hadn’t heard of a foldable iPad. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said at the same time that Apple was working on a foldable iPad. He even thought the foldable iPad would arrive in 2024. According to him, Apple’s innovative tablet would have a new design and a carbon fiber crutch to place it horizontally.
We don’t yet have more details about the technical features of this mysterious foldable iPad. Nevertheless, the foldable iPad is expected to look like the market’s foldable smartphones. Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 unveiled today, the foldable iPad would have a huge internal screen that folds in half. It would surely have a bigger screen than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro sold from €1,469. Its price would obviously be even higher.
