Prior to this, its competitors Samsung, Huawei, and others have already released foldable screen phones, and while Apple has yet to make a move, the market’s enthusiasm for this technology has already surged. Now, Apple clearly hopes to be the first to introduce this technology in the tablet market, further solidifying its leadership position in the global tablet market.

The design and functionality patents for this device were approved by the US Patent and Trademark Office in February of this year, further increasing people’s expectations for Apple’s upcoming foldable iPad.

If Apple is able to successfully launch a foldable iPad, it will undoubtedly further enhance its position in the tablet market. At the same time, it will also be a major impact on the global tablet market, indicating that future tablet computers will evolve in a more innovative and diverse direction.
