Apple reportedly developing foldable iPad expected to launch in 2028

Apple is reportedly developing a foldable iPad, which could launch in 2028. This device would be larger than current iPads, potentially measuring about 19 inches when unfolded, aiming to enhance productivity and entertainment without merging phone and tablet experiences. Unlike foldable phones, which often compromise usability, a foldable iPad could provide a more seamless experience. Apple's existing iPad software is evolving to support hybrid functionality, making it well-suited for a larger, foldable format. Apple currently leads the tablet market, holding a 31.7% share. The company’s focus on creating a distinct device rather than a phone-tablet hybrid may allow it to innovate effectively in the foldable space.
