Apple is said to work on the iPhone folder and folding iPad. The new report claims that the iPad project is “suspended” and I am connected that this is the right decision.
The reputation of the folding facility has been abundant in recent years, and the general faith was that something Would be released in 2026 or for that. Whether it was Wow is a phone or release of a tablet-laptop hybrid, it was unclear, depending on the analyst you listened to.
It is important to note that this late message, with the permission of the digitimes, does not say that the folding iPad has been canceled. Rather, it is said that Apple “decided to suspend progress” in the project.
Race, that’s from Digitimate. These are the guys who said for XDR displays were ICAC, so anhything and everhything say they are used not only with salt grain, but the whole lick of salt.
If it is accurate how long this pause will last, we will have to wait and see. After all, it is said that the folding screen is the next seven product next year.
Who is waiting for a folding iPad?
If there was any potential for the folding iPad to brake Apple plans for folding iPhone, design, engineering, transport or production, I think Apple has done the right thing by giving the iPhone priority.
Why this is about expectations, demand and market surrounding Apple in 2025. The lack of folding iPhone is … something for Apple, especially because other phone manufacturers continue to the lightning speed. Whether this is a real problem depends very much on your frame for using the iPhone.
The folding telephone market is spent and relatively niche. Most folding smartphones cost more than iPhone 16 for Max, and this is a giant pill that swallows for most people Android. One is also any customer-elementary-class for Android because they are categories.
Folding are here to stay, and get back these customers could take something very special.
I am still not sure how many people are demanding a folding iPad that can turn into a MacBook species when traditional macbooks continue to sell gangbusters.
Finally, after the start of Apple Vision Pro, I am sure Apple wants at least another relatively low -volume running on the difficult iPhones, iPads, Mac and Apple Watches.
Apple is behind the competition
Apple may have not yet entered the folding shake, but the others waited for the lead. Players with a big name as Samsung and Motorola have had years of experience with folding errors and their goods are beginning to show it.
Even the blazing data you get from failure are data. Samsung and Motorola have confiscated hinges in a number of crumpled screens and great highly profile reviewers who peel off the film from the screen.
In fact, Samsung is preparing to announce convertible models. But Apple really manifests itself as Oppo and Honor, and I think it’s a problem.
Oppo Find N5 is an incredible crazy phone. It’s impossible thin, super fast and looks great. The brand new Honor V5 is even thinner, albeit only 0.1 mm.
Oppo Find N5 is one thoughtful phone.
Both of these phones have decorative curtains that are designed to deal with familiar folding. Those from? Prominent folds and dust that can cause the chaos I have mentioned before.
Both phones are evaluated as dust and water resistant due to a new curtain and booth has almot invisible folds. Yeah, and Boot also has beautiful OLED folding panels with 120 Hz.
It has long been assumed that Apple is late on the folding market because it did not want to deal with the problems that bothers these devices. But those (mostly) were (mostly) solved, and maybe we’ll look at what Apple is planning for a decisive curtain.
This leaves an obvious, unpleasant, persistent question: if Oppo and honor can do it, why can’t Apple?
Why it took them so long for Apple to get here. Maybe he doesn’t want to, because we know he has technology and research. Maybe it’s a question that will be amatered when the iPhone Fold Finully is declared.
Probably not. Apple is monolithic in its silence about such things – until it is time in its endless wisdom that it is time to be.
I hope that I am stunned and that waiting suddenly makes sense.
iPads are iPads and MacBooks are MacBooks
With Apple’s iPhone Fold, he might desperately needed and longs for several high rollers, what about iPad Fold?
While there they are Windows PC versions of something similar to the corded iPad Fold are far from the mainstream. I compare them to a tablet computer in late 90’s. real He needs enough people.
The iPad Apple set is full of popular products and Saturday for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Mixing these two seems to be a special decision. Last but not least, because we will not be white now, iPados or macos run.
In the end, it is a simple question of priorities and resources. One of the disturbed Apple folding devices was always the first, the only question was that it would be.
There was only every option for me. The fold of the iPhone was supposed to be in the Apple set years ago. I still see where the iPad fits into him.
Apple won’t hurt for money. He can wait forever if he needs it, and people who remember iPod or iPhone remember directly from the gate, remember the history badly. Both took several years and iPad and Apple Watch even long. We are in the middle of the “what is for” for Apple Vision Pro right now.
However, the lost sale is a lost sale. War chest or not, shareholders expect everything to be more of it.
With this in mind, Apple seems to have made an obvious decision. Concentrate on a product that people are likely to buy while you stop the one that is not.
I can’t wait to see what the madness of the iPhone was offered. And who knows, maybe it will also be excited about the folding iPad.
