Apple has reportedly suspended the active development of its
first foldable iPad. According to industry insiders, the delay is
due to the technical complexity of the design, high production
costs, and uncertain consumer demand for such a device.
Nevertheless, Apple has not abandoned the concept entirely and may
return to the project in the future as the market and technologies
mature, Azernews reports.
Interestingly, while the foldable tablet is on hold, Apple
appears more confident in pursuing foldable smartphones. The
company is expected to unveil its first iPhone with a flexible
display in the coming months. If development stays on schedule, the
foldable iPhone could be officially introduced in the fall of 2026
alongside the iPhone 18 lineup. However, its exact release date and
market availability remain unknown.
Meanwhile, competition in the foldable device space is heating
up. In early July, Samsung revealed the design of its first
triple-folding smartphone. The innovative dual-hinge Galaxy G Fold
is set to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9th,
potentially setting a new benchmark for what foldable devices can
offer in terms of multitasking and portability.
As tech giants explore new form factors, the future of mobile
devices is beginning to look more flexible—literally.
