The Elec reported that Apple plans to axe the iPad Mini product line with a screen size smaller than 10 inches in 2025, and instead launch a foldable iPad product line.
The report highlights Apple’s cooperation with two screen suppliers, Samsung and LG, to jointly develop a 20.25-inch foldable OLED panel.
And at the end of this article, The Elec also reveals a very important piece of information, the following information is translated from Korean and there may be some deviations, please understand.
"After upgrading some of Apple's digital product lines with OLED screens, the company's direction is starting to move toward a foldable form factor. Apple may be the first to launch a foldable iPad product before a 20.25-inch foldable Macbook device is introduced. Apple is internally developing a foldable digital product with a target release date of 2025, a year after Apple launched its first OLED iPad in 2024. The foldable iPad would replace the current sub-10-inch iPad mini line. Apple isn't too keen on developing a foldable iPhone internally, and they don't think the advantages of an iPhone when folded are obvious."
