Apple has been rumored to be working on a foldable iPad model for some time now and another new report has just surfaced regarding this device. Apparently, this model will feature a built in kickstand. So here are all the details.
The news arrives from known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who shared details regarding the upcoming foldable iPad that will reportedly launch sometime in the year 2025. He claims that there is also a slight possibility that the Cupertino based giant might release this device next year as well. Furthermore, Kuo talked about Anjie Technology, which might soon be joining Apple’s supply chain. This firm will supposedly benefit from the new design that the foldable iPad will feature.
Primarily, this is in regard to its built in kickstand. The analyst added that sources close to the matter have also claims that the kickstand may be made from a carbon fiber. In other words, Apple is clearly going for a lightweight addition to the foldable iPad, but without comprising on its durability or sturdiness. Apart from this, Kuo also talked about iPad shipments and believes that it might see a fall in 2023, since there might not be any new iPads within the coming 9 to 12 months.

我的最新調查顯示，折疊iPad將配備碳纖維材質的支撐架，採用碳纖維的可讓支撐架更輕與更耐用。安潔科技為折疊iPad碳纖維支撐架的拋光與貼合供應商，未來可望持續受益於折疊裝置配備支撐架的新趨勢。
The analyst believes that the mass production for the new iPad mini refresh will also start sometime within the first quarter of next year. So, he expects iPad shipments to decline by 10 to 15 percent this year. Although, with the launch of the foldable iPad, there will likely be positive changes. Since this would mark a major design overhaul for Apple, while also bringing a unique feature to its popular iPad lineup.
