It’s been a fascinating couple of days for news aboutApple’sfoldable devices– two separate reports in big-name publications have cast light on Apple’s plans for the next few years.
As we reported earlier, the Wall Street Journal has described afolding iPhonethat’s bigger than aniPhone 16 Pro Max, and also revealed that Apple is working on alarge folding laptop. Now, a second report, fromBloomberg, says that Apple is working on afolding iPad.
Previous rumours had predicted aniPadFold for launch in 2026, but the latest say it’s taken longer than Apple expected – the launch is now expected to happen in 2028.
Is Apple making a folding iPad?
We’ve heard rumours of a folding iPad for several years now, and according to Bloomberg, that’s where Apple is setting its sights: “Apple knows that customers – gamers, software developers or just people watching movies – want the biggest screen possible. And the only way to sensibly ship a mobile product with a large display (one approaching 20 inches or so) is to make it foldable,” it writes.
We’ve seen plenty of devices like this already from the likes ofMicrosoftand Lenovo. But, Apple is apparently thinking different, with an 18.8-inch display that doesn’t have a visible crease and doesn’t appear to be two separate panels. It will look like a single, uninterrupted sheet of glass, it is alleged.
The next bit is a prediction rather than a leak, but Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says he expects the device to run iPadOS – with an important difference.
