According to CNBC’s report, analytical company CCS Insight said that the foldable iPad will be introduced before the foldable iPhone. The tablet’s rollout in the new form factor could happen as early as 2024.

The company’s experts are sure that at the moment it makes no sense for Apple to release a folding iPhone. It is assumed that the announcement of such an iPhone could carry very high risks for Apple. Such a device can be significantly more expensive than current iPhone models. In fact, in the classic form factor, which costs $ 1.6 thousand, as in the case of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the price should be close to $ 2.5 thousand in order not to hurt sales.

In addition, experts believe that the technical difficulties in the development of a foldable iPhone could significantly damage the image of the company. But on the other hand, Apple cannot ignore the trend of moving to a new form factor and the use of flexible displays in its new products. So the iPad may be a safer option for the tech debut.
