Apple's effort to reinvent the iPad by adding a giant foldable screen has hit
development hurdles, potentially delaying the planned launch. Bloomberg: The
company has been working on the device -- projected to cost around $3,000 --
for several years and had most recently aimed for a 2028 release. But
engineering challenges tied to weight, features and display technology have
pushed its potential debut to 2029 or later, according to people familiar
with the matter. Apple is working with Samsung Display Co. to develop the
roughly 18-inch panel for the device, said the people, who asked not to be
identified because the work isn't public. The screen minimizes the crease
seen on foldable displays, matching an approach that Apple is also using with
its upcoming foldable iPhone. The iPad project is part of a broader push to
bring more innovative devices to market. Apple just introduced its first new
iPhone design in years -- the ultrathin $999 Air model -- and is working on
everything from smart glasses to a tabletop robot device.
