2026 or 2027 may see
the release of Apple's first foldable gadget, according to a recent story
citing "industry sources" in Korea. According to certain rumors, it
could replace the iPad mini in Apple's lineup because of its internal screen
size, which is estimated to be approximately 7-8".
Its features and
specifications, however, are still being worked out. Moreover, Apple is testing
an OLED-screening version of the iPad mini, which would be pointless if it were
to be immediately discarded in favor of the foldable.
In the latest
developments, Apple is said to be gearing up for the incorporation of OLED
screens into its iPad Pro series by the end of this year. However, an
OLED-equipped iPad mini may not make its debut until the following year.
Notably, both Samsung
Display and LG Display have reportedly supplied Apple with prototype foldable screen
panels, measuring 6" and 7" in size, respectively. The latest buzz
suggests that Apple is now considering a larger form factor for its potential
inaugural foldable device.
Nevertheless,
considering Samsung Display's extensive experience selling foldable panels to
Samsung Electronics, it's quite likely that Apple will place panel orders with
them first, if and when it decides to move forward with this. Should Apple
choose to use two suppliers, LG Display is probably going to begin producing
foldable screens in large quantities for the company a year ahead of Samsung.
In the foreseeable future, around 2028, Apple is anticipated to introduce a groundbreaking foldable device with a generous 20.25" internal folding screen. The product could potentially bear the iconic iPad or Mac branding.
