Apple's 18-Inch Foldable iPad Delayed Until 2029
Apple's large-screened foldable iPad could be delayed due to development issues, reports Bloomberg. The device was initially planned for launch in 2028, but problems with weight and display technology may cause it to be pushed back until 2029.
Multiple rumors have suggested that Apple is working on a large foldable device, though information has diverged on whether it will be positioned as an iPad or a Mac. The product is expected to have an 18-inch display created by Samsung, with Apple focusing on minimizing the display crease.
