NEW IPAD ‘FOLD' ON TRACK FOR LAUNCH NEXT YEAR, SAYS ANALYST

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple is preparing to launch both a 7.8-inch foldable iPhone and an 18.8-inch foldable iPad in late 2026. While some sources suggest a later timeline for the foldable iPad, current expectations point to both devices entering mass production in the fourth quarter of that year. If accurate, this would make fall 2026 a major milestone for Apple's entry into the foldable device market.
