No folding iPad in 2024 after all, but…
Shortly after Kuo’s report yesterday, Gurman took to Twitter to reiterate what he expects from the iPad lineup through this year and next year. While 2023 will be a “light year” for the iPad lineup, Gurman says we can expect spec bumps for the entry-level iPad and iPad mini in 2024. Apple is also readying new iPad Pro models with OLED displays.
Gurman went on to say that he’s “not hearing anything about a foldable iPad in 2024,” a direct response to Kuo’s report from Monday.
Display Supply Chain Consultants analyst Ross Young has also since chimed in, saying that he also has heard “nothing about a foldable iPad for 2024.”
Interestingly, however, Young says that there is supply chain chatter about a 20.5-inch foldable notebook from Apple. This product could be ready for 2025, but more details are unknown at this point. Young says that the supply chain is referring to this as a “notebook,” but it’s unclear what software it will run.
