Apple has been rumored to venture into the foldable smartphone space for a few years now but there’s no concrete matter around it. It seems like before launching a foldable smartphone, the company might first introduce a foldable iPad and this could happen in a couple of years.
Analysts at CCS Insight (via CNBC) have revealed that Apple is planning to launch a foldable iPad in 2024 as the company will finally start diving into the foldable technology. This is most likely to happen before a foldable iPhone makes the cut.
For those who don’t know, Apple is expected to introduce the foldable iPhone in 2025 and now that we are hearing about a foldable iPad first, these timelines appear to make sense. Apple is rumored to be in talks with LG for the foldable display. The foldable iPad, as per a report from 2019, hints at support for 5G too. However, we still lack a lot of details on this and there’s no word on whether or not this will happen for sure.
