Allison Johnson of The Verge suggests that the iPad should change its shape, learning to fold in half and turning into something like a phone. She criticizes the current scope of Apple's model range and proposes to combine the iPad Mini and the iPhone into one innovative device, similar to complex smartphones from Samsung and Google.
Admiring the thinness and power of the iPad Pro, Johnson imagines a device that can act as both a tablet and a phone, perfect for multitasking and productivity on the go. She sees potential in the new handwriting features coming to iOS 18, making the concept of folding an iPad even more appealing.
Recognizing the possible business strategies, Johnson emphasizes the appeal of a single device that combines functionality tablet and smartphone.
Could the foldable iPad be Apple's next big leap in mobile technology? Time will tell.
