Apple is considering a first foldable device in the coming years. The proposed 7- to 8-inch product could eventually replace the 8.3-inch iPad mini.

South Korean publication The Elec reports that Apple is considering a 2026–2027 release schedule for the device.

Apple is also developing an OLED iPad mini, so the form and specifications of its potential foldable device remain uncertain.

Samsung Display and LG Display have reportedly supplied Apple with 7-inch and 8-inch foldable panel samples since the previous year.

Samsung is reportedly developing Apple’s foldable panels more actively than LG and could become the main supplier if Apple targets a 2026 launch.
