Ming-Chi Kuo: Folding iPad Launch Next Year

Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says we can expect to see Apple launch a foldable iPad sporting a carbon fiber kickstand next year.

In a series of tweets from earlier today, Kuo said he expects to see an “all-new design foldable ‌iPad‌” as the next big product launch in the ‌iPad‌ lineup, with no other major ‌iPad‌ releases in the next nine to 12 months. The analyst said he was “positive” that the foldable device would arrive in 2024.

Based on Apple’s ‌iPad‌ plans, Kuo said he was taking a “cautious approach” to ‌iPad‌ shipments for 2023, predicting a year-on-year decline of around 10-15%. However, he expects the 2024 foldable model to “boost shipments and improve the product mix.”
