Apple is reportedly working on a giant iPad with a flexible screen that folds in half to roughly match the size of a current generation iPad Pro.
Apple is the biggest consumer electronics player that is yet to dabble in foldable devices. It seems the company’s plans for a foldable device could actually be more ambitious than any rival has attempted so far. According to Bloomberg, the company’s next big product category could be, well, a big foldable iPad.

However, the crease is still very much there, though the situation has improved over the past few years.

Another interesting bit of information mentioned in the report is that the device could run a version of iPadOS with some macOS DNA thrown into the mix.
So far, the closest implementations of what Apple is reportedly developing are the Asus Zenbook Fold OLED and the HP Spectre Foldable laptops. However, both these machines are pretty expensive, starting at $3,500 in the US market. The situation is not too different with Huawei’s triple-fold phone that arrived earlier this year.
