The display experts at DSCC say that several new OLED iPads, including the iPad mini, iPad Air, and foldable iPad Pro, are coming soon.

The result is similar to previous foldable iPad reports sprouting from an Apple road map leak from November 2023 which suggested that a 20.5-inch foldable model would arrive in 2026 with a carbon fiber kickstand. However, Bloomberg's report points to both an 18.8-inch display and a 2028 release date.

According to Gurman, Apple is working to ensure that the foldable iPad does not have the crease down the center that has bedeviled other foldable devices. Apple’s secret efforts have resulted in a device that has a “nearly invisible crease” when opened up, Gurman says, although it’s “too early to tell if Apple can get rid of it altogether.”
