Typing experience on foldable device raises significant concerns

Apple is reportedly developing a foldable device that combines features of an iPad and MacBook. Recent patents and leaks suggest it may have a large, all-screen design, likely requiring a virtual keyboard instead of a physical one. Concerns have been raised about the typing experience on a flat glass surface. Virtual keyboards can be uncomfortable for long typing sessions, lacking physical feedback and making it easy to miss keys. Apple is exploring solutions, including haptic feedback and a deformable glass structure, but doubts remain about their effectiveness compared to traditional keyboards. The success of the device may hinge on the quality of its typing experience.
