Apple is reportedly developing its first foldable iPad, expected to launch in 2028. This device will likely run a variant of iPadOS, allowing compatibility with accessories like the Apple Pencil and touch functionality.
By 2028, iPadOS may support macOS applications, enabling the use of software such as Capture One and Adobe Premiere on the iPad. The foldable iPad is anticipated to have a screen size comparable to two iPad Pro models placed side by side, approximately 18.8 inches diagonally.
Current prototypes show minimal visibility of the crease in the display, with Apple's engineers aiming for its complete elimination. Despite its large screen, the foldable iPad will be positioned as a high-end device, with Apple suggesting that productivity-focused customers consider a Mac, which may feature touchscreens by that time.
