Samsung predicts Apple will have a foldable tablet by 2024

Apple has yet to set foot in the foldable tech market, but according to a new report, the Cupertino tech giant could release a foldable iPad or MacBook in the coming years.

Samsung's Mobile Experience branch has met with suppliers, and according to TheElec, is feeling optimistic about the foldable market.

Samsung MX believes that Apple will announce its first foldable device by 2024 — but it won't be an iPhone.

While many have clamored for an "iPhone Fold," the technology may not be there yet. What users gain in novelty they'll likely lose in practicality. Current folding phones are clunky and heavy, which hardly fits with Apple's design ethos.

Apple has yet to announce plans to create a foldable device of any kind.

In September, it was reported that Apple wanted LG and Samsung to make foldable OLED panels. The goal would be to make a device capable of folding without the visible crease many current devices develop.

Sorry, but I completely disagree with this statement. “Many have clamored”?  Like who? And where is all this alleged clamoring taking place? Because I’ve yet to meet anyone, online or irl, that is clamoring for anything foldable by Apple. At best, some people have chosen to withhold judgement until such a product is a reality. But most Apple fans see the foldable market as nothing but a huge gimmick. 


Stop believing all those Samsung ads.

MacBooks already fold. One half is screen, the other half is battery, keyboard and motherboard.
