Foldable iPad Future Uncertain Amid Leadership Shift

Apple's development of a foldable iPad, previously rumored to feature a 20-inch crease-free display, is reportedly facing significant uncertainty. The project's future is in doubt following the announcement that CEO Tim Cook will step down in September, handing over leadership to hardware chief John Ternus.

Sources suggest that the larger foldable device, once anticipated for a 2028 or 2029 launch with an estimated cost of $3,900, may now be relegated to a "wacky experiment." This potential cancellation shifts focus back to Apple's foldable iPhone.

The foldable iPhone, expected to have a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch external screen, is still on track for an announcement in 2026. Despite initial engineering hurdles, this device is slated to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.
