Foldable iPhone And iPad In The Works?

There are several foldable phones available in the market, Apple has yet to introduce a foldable of its own — though there are reports that an iPhone Flip could be in the works for a 2026 release. If that's true, a foldable iPhone could also have some company, with a new leak pointing to a folding iPad coming from Apple in a few years.

The leak comes from regular tipster Jukanlosreve on X, posting an image of what appears to be Apple's roadmap for displays on iPads and MacBooks. The roadmap lists Apple's plans through 2030, suggesting big changes to the displays on both device categories in the coming years.

According to the image, Apple is going to launch an 18.8-inch foldable "tablet/note PC/monitor." The last two hint at a device that might be a laptop replacement or perhaps an portable external monitor that folds. This giant device is supposed to feature an OLED display with LTPO TFT, and TSP on TFE. This all suggests a thin, dynamic display that can also fold.

Claims of a foldable iPad line up with a previous rumor from earlier this year in which analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested Apple was working on a 20-inch foldable MacBook. At the time, it was rumored that a large folding Apple device wouldn't arrive until 2027.

Apple has seemingly been hesitant to create a true laptop replacement tablet, but this nearly 19-inch folding tablet could finally be that device, assuming Apple makes the requisite iOS adjustments as well.
