According to WSJ sources, Tim Cook’s company will introduce foldable gadgets no earlier than 2026. This year the company has planned the release of two devices with a flexible display.

Mark Gurman from Bloomberg is also confident that the IT giant will enter the folding device market no earlier than 2026. He believes that one of the first foldable gadgets will be a giant tablet with a display diagonal “close to 20 inches.” According to Gurman, the concept device looks like two iPad Pro tablets placed side by side. The gadget will appear in 2028.
