Rumors about Apple’s entry into the foldable device market continue. Finally, there are claims of a giant foldable iPad. According to reports, Apple’s design team is working on a foldable iPad with a large screen, scheduled for release in 2028.
The first foldable iPad could be introduced in 2028
According to the report, Apple’s goal is to develop an iPad with a screen experience as big as two iPad Pros placed side by side. Analysts say the hinge track is almost invisible in the prototypes, showing Apple’s attention to detail.
Unlike previous rumors of an iPad-Mac hybrid device, the foldable iPad is expected to run iPadOS with support for macOS apps. This follows Apple’s strategy of blurring the lines between tablets and computers.
The tech giant wants to offer users the portability and convenience of the iPad with the app ecosystem and productivity of macOS. This timing actually coincides with leaked roadmaps from research firms.
