According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple would have planned, for 2028launch a kind of foldable iPadbecoming practically a Mac, because it would have twice the screen of a current one, that is, possibly more than that of a computer like those of today.
We have also heard rumors about a foldable iPhone, so it seems that Tim Cook’s company wants to enter this world, which seems that, although today it does not attract much attention, it could be something that in a couple of years is fashionable.
Foldable iPad in 2028
Among the characteristics that Gurman reveals, we can see a very interesting one, and that is that, despite not being a Mac, it would be compatible with your macOS operating systemso we could download all the applications and programs that we currently use on our computers, which would give us a kind of laptop and tablet at the same time, being very useful for certain types of work, so if it folds and weighs little, we could talk about a real team for many people.
The prototypes of this new product within Apple’s industrial design group have an almost invisible crease. But it’s too early to say whether Apple can get rid of it completely. Samsung Electronics Co., which launched its first foldable phone five years ago, has tried unsuccessfully to eliminate the fold.
Apparently, this product is something that Apple would not have developed until now due to its possible flaws, something that, with the passage of time, has been perfected, until achieving a screen that, as we see, seems like it could not have any brand. in its fold line, which would make this equipment “perfect”, which is what Apple always seeks. They may not be the first at something, but if they do it, they do it well.
The screen would reach a size of about 20 inchessomething that, although it seems exaggerated, is very logical, since a current iPad is around 10, if we double it, we have those twenty, although it is likely that we will even see “mini” iPads of 7 or 8 inches, achieving 16 in a super small team.
We will have to wait to find out more details, such as its battery, price, models, etc., since, according to Gurman, we have at least 3 years left for it, so many rumors, leaks and speculations remain to be seen, since even Maybe, like other projects, it will end in nothing, and we will never even see it.
And you, what do you think of this type of products? Do you think they will really amount to something, or are they simply projects in case folding products find a big gap in the market, to have something to counterattack with? Leave us a comment with your opinion and if you would really buy one or do you think that that’s what a computer is already for, and it is not necessary to have a multifunction device, which, possibly, is too expensive. For my part, I have doubts, and I would like to wait to see what Apple surprises us with, since I’m sure we’ll all end up wanting one.
