Apple has been rumored to be entering the foldable smartphone space for a few years now, but there is no concrete question about it. It seems that before the launch of a foldable smartphone, the company may first introduce a foldable iPad and this may happen in a couple of years.
Apple's foldable future: iPhone, iPad, & MacBook LEAKED!
Analysts at CCS Insight (via CNBC ) have revealed that Apple plans to launch a foldable iPad in 2024 as the company finally begins to dive into the foldable technology. This will most likely happen before a foldable iPhone makes the cut.
If you're wondering why Apple plans to release a foldable iPad first, it's mainly to avoid risk. The analysts believe that it would be best for Apple to start with a foldable iPad so that it does not attract much scrutiny in case of technical problems.
Ben Wood, head of research at CCS Insight, said in a statement to CNBC, "Right now it doesn't make sense for Apple to make a foldable iPhone. We think they'll avoid that trend and probably dip a toe in the water with a foldable iPad .”
