For quite some time,leaks and rumorshave swirled about Apple’sfoldable iPhoneplans. Now, a new report suggests the tech giant could release not only a foldable iPhone but also a foldable iPad.
I’m excited by the possibility of a foldable iPad. The first thing that popped into my mind when I visualized it was the prospect of having an iPad that’s the size of a magazine and folds closed like one. The device will likely run iPadOS, too. Gurman reports that iPadOS “should be advanced enough to run MacOS apps” by 2028.

A foldable iPhone is still on the table
Apple is also reportedly fixing the Magic Mouse
A foldable iPhone is still coming and could arrive before a foldable iPad. Gurmanreportsthat the foldable iPhone is in development and doesn’t expect it to arrive until 2026 at the earliest, which aligns withprevious rumorsabout the device.
Additionally, there is potentially a new Magic Mouse coming that “better fits the modern era.” It will also address thebiggest complaintabout the device – the charging port being on the bottom of it. Apple recently released anew revisionof the Magic Mouse that includes USB-C. An OLED MacBook Pro is expected to be released in 2026, too. Next year, the Cupertino-based company is expected to launch theAirTag 2, with extended range capabilities.
Apple’s road map for the next few years is exciting. Its foldable iPhone and iPad couldreinvigoratethefoldable devicemarket, which isstrugglingto attract consumers. A foldable iPad seems extremely promising, but the only thing that makes me wary is the potential cost of such a device. The 13-inch iPad Pro starts at $1,300, and if the rumored foldable iPad is supposed to be like two of those side-by-side, it could end up being priced pretty high.
