Insiders have revealed Apple’s new strategy to release foldable iPads and iPhones
By ForGeeks According to insiders, Apple has adjusted its strategy for foldable devices. The company has reportedly temporarily halted work on the foldable iPad, redirecting resources to accelerate development of the debut foldable iPhone model.
An insider has revealed that Apple has adjusted its strategy for foldable devices.
According to online publications, the reason for the suspension of the folding iPad project was due to production difficulties and significant financial costs. In particular, creating large, flexible OLED displays with no visible crease is a technical challenge, especially given Apple’s stringent quality requirements. Such a device was expected to feature an OLED screen ranging in size from 18.8 to 20.2 inches diagonally. In addition, the high production costs of folding iPads would have increased the retail price, which the company fears could have a negative impact on consumer demand.
The development of the foldable iPhone is actively underway. The device is currently at the prototype stage, and full testing could begin as early as early 2026. It’s known that the smartphone will feature a flexible 7.8-inch OLED screen made by Samsung, a side-mounted Touch ID scanner, a titanium body frame, and an advanced folding mechanism.
