Apple is reportedly developing a large foldable iPad with a display measuring between 18 and 20 inches when fully unfolded. The ambitious device could bring tablet portability and laptop-sized screen space together, potentially changing how users work, study, and enjoy digital content.
According to recent reports, Apple is testing the concept as part of its efforts to explore new device designs. However, the company has not officially confirmed the product, its specifications, or its release date.
Foldable Display Could Transform iPad Design
The rumoured device could feature a significantly larger screen than current iPad models. When opened, the display may provide enough workspace for multitasking, creative projects, and productivity tasks that typically require a laptop.
Previous reports from Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman described Apple’s concept as resembling two iPad Pro tablets positioned side by side. Meanwhile, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously suggested that Apple could launch a foldable iPad around 2028.
Apple is reportedly working to minimise the visible crease where the display folds. This remains a major technical challenge for manufacturers developing large foldable screens.
Furthermore, reports suggest that the device could use ultra-thin glass to improve display durability and usability. However, Apple has yet to confirm the materials or final design.
Huawei’s Foldable Laptop Offers Design Inspiration
Apple’s reported plans follow the emergence of large foldable devices from other technology companies. Huawei’s MateBook Fold, featuring an 18-inch foldable OLED display, demonstrates how manufacturers can combine expansive screens with portable designs.
The Huawei device includes a built-in stand and stylus support, highlighting potential features for similar products. Nevertheless, Apple could choose a different design and software approach for its foldable tablet.
Reports suggest the device could arrive in 2028, although development challenges may affect the timeline. Apple has not announced pricing, availability, or confirmed specifications.
