Foldable iPad: innovation in a larger format

According to Bloomberg, Apple is developing a foldable iPad with a screen that will be larger than 13 inches (the current maximum iPad size). The device is expected to be comfortable for watching movies, playing games and other multimedia tasks, but will be portable thanks to its foldable format.

• Apple’s goal: to completely eliminate the visible fold on the screen, something competitors have yet to accomplish.
• Release: the device may not hit the market until 2028.

Apple plans to use advanced technology to make the screen look like a single pane of glass, unlike the solutions of Microsoft and Lenovo, whose similar devices still look like two screens connected by hinges.

Folding iPhone: a new chapter in smartphone history

Besides the iPad, Apple is developing a foldable iPhone. But the company faces serious technical challenges related to screen protection and hinge mechanics, which have been a problem for foldable device makers for years.

Apple is also developing a foldable iPhone.

• Expectations: A foldable iPhone may not hit the market until 2026.
• Slim iPhone: a thinner iPhone is expected to be released in 2025 as part of an overall lineup refresh.

Competition and Challenges

Apple is the only major smartphone manufacturer that has yet to introduce foldable devices. Samsung and Huawei are actively pursuing this market, but their devices still suffer from shortcomings such as noticeable creases in their screens and complexity of design.

Foldable devices still have a small market share, but analysts predict significant growth in the coming years, especially if Apple decides to enter the category.

Foldable devices are still a small part of the market.
