OLED will be at the core of a folding iPad
A new supply chain report denies that Apple has abandoned folding devices, and instead it claims that the company is working on a foldable iPad or MacBook with a folding screen for 2025 or later.
There have been rumors of an iPhone Fold since at least when Samsung began releasing its foldable range. Yet recently there has been a spate of new, if contradictory, rumors saying Apple has two prototypes, might make a folding iPad instead, or has abandoned the whole idea.
Similarly, reporting that this device will not be an iPhone, says that it will be an iPad or a MacBook Pro. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the rumor of two iPhone fold prototypes is false, but Digitimes does say that work has not been abandoned or disbanded.
Digitimes has a strong reputation for its supply chain sources — but a considerably poorer one for the conclusions it draws about Apple’s plans or schedules. In this case, it’s saying a folding device will not appear before 2025 at the earliest.
