Apple has been exploring foldable devices for several years, but there has been some disagreement among analysts and leakers about what they are actually working on. Reports have suggested various possibilities, from a clamshell-style “iPhone Flip” to an iPad- or MacBook-style foldable. It seems that the foldable iPhone is likely to come first, following the design of other foldable phones on the market.
On the other hand, the rumored “iPad Fold” is not as concrete as the foldable iPhone. While there is enough information to suggest that Apple is working on a foldable iPad, it is still in the early stages of development. Recent reports indicate that Apple has paused progress on the device, with predictions ranging from a launch in late 2026 to as far out as 2028.
Industry analysts have differing opinions on the potential release date of the foldable iPad, with some suggesting a delay due to costs and consumer demand. It is possible that Apple is waiting to see how the foldable iPhone is received before committing to a larger foldable device. In the meantime, the “iPhone Fold” is still on track for a 2026 release.
