Apple has long dominated the tablet market, but its arch-rival might just beat them to the punch with a foldable tablet. The iPad’s launch has been delayed, and while Apple has focused on its foldable iPhone for next year, it might be left behind in the foldable tablet race.
The iPhone 18 is set to debut alongside Apple’s first foldable smartphone, but their plans for a foldable iPad have been put on hold due to high costs and limited demand.
Meanwhile, many brands, including Huawei, have been experimenting with foldable phones for years. However, the foldable tablet market remains largely unexplored. The Huawei MateBook Fold, which features an 18-inch screen, is technically a laptop, not a tablet. However, imagine the possibilities of a foldable iPad: perhaps a more pocket-friendly iPad mini or a slim yet powerful iPad Air that folds for added portability.
Now, rumors are swirling that Huawei may be working on a foldable tablet. While details remain scarce, it’s not hard to imagine that soon we may be talking about Huawei’s new device in the foldable tablet space. The promise of these devices is appealing as they combine a large, immersive screen with the convenience of portability, offering flexibility for activities like browsing, watching videos, or working on documents while on the go.
While Apple may not be the first to release a foldable tablet, it’s unlikely that U.S. customers will warm up to Huawei’s device right away. Despite the company’s struggles in recent years, many still remain loyal to Apple, which could keep it ahead in the race for the foldable tablet market.
