Apple plans to launch a new foldable iPad, bringing to the line the same trend of cell phones from other companies. In recent years, there has been a drop of almost 15% in demand for these products, but the company hopes that this novelty will pique people's curiosity and that sales will increase.

Apple's new tablet is expected to be made from carbon fiber to increase durability and light weight.
When should the iPad arrive?
According to rumors, the manufacturer Suzhou Anjie Technology would be responsible for the development of the new model of iPad made with carbon fiber. The expectation, according to analysts, is that the new model will arrive in 2024 to overcome the low sales of previous years.
Also new for iPhones?
For years, it has been speculated that the multinational would launch a foldable model of its cell phones. The rumor has grown in recent years with the launch of smartphones with this technology, such as the competitor Samsung. The rumor was never confirmed, and the foldable iPad will serve as an experiment in the approval of these models among the public.
One of the main reasons foldable iPhone models haven't been created yet is cost. That's because screens that fold cost a lot more than the OLED screens already used.
In this way, the company believes that increasing the price due to the novelty would not be so well received by the market, so he then opts to maintain the high profit with the current iPhones.
When should they arrive?
At the current time, Apple sees the market for cell phones and devices with a foldable screen as very new. She waits for it to mature so that there is a longer supply chain for screens, suitable processors and all the necessary materials before investing in depth.
Currently, only Samsung ventures into this market and exhibits a production capable of meeting its demands. Therefore, it is difficult to predict when the novelty should arrive or if it will arrive, in fact, for iPhone models.
