Apple’s first foldable device may launch next year

Apple may introduce its first foldable device in 2024, which could be a folding iPad. While we may not get a new iPad in 2023, we could see a new folding iPad joining the lineup next year.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously hinted that Apple has been working on a foldable iPad but did not say when it would launch. Now, Kuo, in a tweet, says that he is “positive” that the foldable iPad could launch as soon as next year.

In the tweet, Kuo predicts a 10 to 15 percent decline in iPad shipments in 2023. However, the analyst says that the introduction of the new foldable iPad in 2024 will benefit the shipments while also improving the product mix.
