Apple is working towards 2028 as a release date for its foldable iPad, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported.

Rumors of a folding iPad have been floating in the ether for years, now. Recent ones include a smaller model that Apple would release in 2026 or 2027. Gurman’s write-up today has strong echoes of the gargantuan 20-inch folding “iPad / MacBook hybrid” he detailed in 2022.

According to Gurman, Apple is working to ensure that the foldable iPad does not have the crease down the center that has bedeviled other foldable devices. Apple’s secret efforts have resulted in a device that has a “nearly invisible crease” when opened up, Gurman says, although it’s “too early to tell if Apple can get rid of it altogether.”

Apple plans a foldable 18.8-inch iPad by 2028, featuring a seamless display, while rumors also hint at OLED MacBooks in 2026.
