The end of the year sees a rush of rumors surrounding Apple's projects. If there is no longer much doubt that the first quarter will welcome a new iPhone SE, and if the sketch of the iPhone 17 Air, expected in the fall of 2025, begins to clearly take shape, it is a device of another kind that Bloomberg evokes.
According to the essential Mark Gurman, who officiates on Bloomberg and in its newsletter Power OnApple is working on an iPad with a folding screen. According to its information, Apple is working on prototypes of very very large tablets – 18.8 inches according to the journalists – therefore located halfway between the usual iPads and MacBooks. In addition to this diagonal, he understands that the device would take the form of two iPads side by side, at the fold “presque invisible”. In other words, this folding iPad would be the equivalent of a dual-screen laptop, a bit like what machines such as the ZenBook Duo from Asus offer. However, we do not know the operating system used on the device: it could be either iPadOS or MacOS; Gurman believes that the machine would borrow from both universes.
No need to take out the popcorns, however: Apple is not planning to release such an iPad before 2026, or even 2027. Suffice to say that it is likely that before offering a folding iPad, Cupertino will launch its first folding iPhone . This one, according to the indiderswould be expected by 2026, at least seven years after the first terminal of its kind from Samsung.
