According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is developing a foldable device that mimics the functionality of a large iPad, capable of unfolding to create a screen size nearly equivalent to two iPad Pros positioned side by side. This innovative foldable device is expected to have a display of approximately 20 inches and is slated for a 2028 launch. It is likely to run on iPadOS or a tailored version of it. Furthermore, Gurman noted that while a foldable iPhone is also in the pipeline, it is unlikely to debut before 2026.
