Foldable screen technologies are improving day by day. Of course, with this, users started to ask the question “when will the foldable iPad and iPhone come?”. Apple has not made an official statement on the subject, but the latest leaks have started to show the course. Did OLED screen technologies ruin the dreams of foldable iPad and iPhone? Here are the details on the subject…
When will the foldable iPad arrive?
First of all, it is necessary to talk about foldable screens. In this technology, Samsung is one of the leading companies in the market. The brand, which creates a small foldable phone audience with the Fold and Z Flip series, is experienced in production and sales. When we come to the Apple side, a few patents stand out.
The brand has not offered concrete products on foldable screen technologies. But in recent months, it has made patent applications that will make it possible to produce such products. Especially with the patenting of the foldable touch cell panel patent, news of “foldable iPhone is coming” started to emerge alongside the iPhone 15 series.
But the situation was not as expected. Apple probably did not switch to this type of product design because the deformation problems in products with foldable screens were not resolved. Then the foldable iPad came to the agenda. However, the latest news says that we will not see these products for a while due to OLED plans.
Apple’s current priority is to switch the iPad series to OLED. Apple plans to make a major breakthrough in screen resolution and quality with the introduction of OLED panels, and will start thinking about foldable devices after completing this process. This means that, at best, we will see a foldable device with the Apple logo in 2025.
