As rumors swirl of a folding iPhone and a touchscreen MacBook, the iPad’s once-clear niche looks increasingly uncertain: the new affordable MacBook Neo narrows the price gap, potentially reshaping who the iPad is for, and if Macs or iPhones gain large touchscreen or folding displays, the iPad’s unique strengths—especially for drawing—could lose their edge.
Reports suggest Apple will launch a foldable iPhone in 2026, potentially working with Samsung Display for crease-free screens, with an expected high price between $2,000 and $2,500, marking a significant innovation in Apple's mobile lineup.
Apple's long-rumored foldable iPhone is on track for potential launch in the second half of 2026, having reached the Prototype 1 stage with fully functional units tested, and is expected to undergo further prototyping before final release, with features like a titanium body, 7.58-inch display, and dual 48MP cameras.
Apple plans to launch a premium-priced folding iPhone next year, with a display potentially made by Samsung Display, though some components are still undecided. The move aims to attract new customers and encourage upgrades amid a shrinking foldable phone market, which currently accounts for a small percentage of smartphone sales and faces hardware challenges and limited demand growth.
Engineers previously working on Vision Pro have been reassigned to a folding iPhone or iPad project, leading to a reported delay in the launch of a foldable iPhone from 2026 to 2027. It remains uncertain whether Apple is prioritizing a folding iPhone or iPad, and reports suggest that the company has at least two active prototypes for a folding device. Despite the delay, major component manufacturers are expected to proceed according to the original schedule, and Apple's work in this area has been kept relatively quiet, with more speculation than demonstrable fact.
