Apple’s rumored foldable device, long thought to be a revolutionary iPad, has now been delayed to early 2027 according to the latest reports. Shocking news for Apple fans eagerly awaiting this game-changing product.
Even more surprising, the device may not even be an iPad at all! The analyst Ming-Chi Kuo now believes Apple is developing an 18.8-inch foldable MacBook instead. This would be a significant departure from previous rumors of a 20-inch foldable iPad.
The delay is reportedly due to Apple’s perfectionist approach and ongoing struggles to eliminate the visible crease that plagues current foldable displays. The company is working with Samsung and LG to find a solution, but it seems more time is needed.
This isn’t the first time Apple’s foldable plans have been pushed back. In 2021, Kuo predicted a foldable iPad for 2023, which now seems highly unlikely. Rivals like Samsung have already released multiple generations of foldable phones, but Apple appears to be taking a more cautious approach.
The details around Apple’s eventual foldable remain a mystery. Will it be a clamshell design or a book-style foldable? Will it be an iPhone that unfurls into an iPad Mini? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain – Apple fans will have to wait until at least 2027 to find out.
