Apple's first foldable iPad may be delayed, according to a new report.
In a note to investors, Haitong analyst Jeff Pu said he still expects Apple ’s product strength to be enhanced by the iPhone 17 Series and Apple Intelligence, and that the company’s foldable iPad announcement will be delayed instead of going into mass production in 2025.

In a report in May, Jeff Pu said that Apple's first foldable devices will be mass produced in 2025 and 2026. Previously, there was evidence that foldable devices had appeared in Apple's supply chain.
At that time, the analyst said, Apple would introduce an iPad or MacBook with a foldable screen before launching a foldable iPhone in late 2026.

According to Jeff Pu, Apple's device with a 20.3-inch foldable screen will be produced by the end of 2025, earlier than previously expected. However, the "Apple House" will enter the foldable screen market in the second quarter of 2026 due to "screen durability issues".
For this reason, the iPad Air with M1 chip is quite an interesting choice for students. It is a device that is very similar to its successor in terms of design and there are not many differences in terms of specifications. Like many other Apple products, buying a like-new version (about 12 million VND) will allow users to save a few million VND compared to the new model (about 14.69 million VND).
The iPad Air has always been positioned as an interesting option in Apple's tablet lineup thanks to its ability to deliver great power, beautiful design, and a more affordable price than the iPad Pro . Considering the current price, it is a tablet with an incredible quality-to-price ratio.
Apple's fifth-generation iPad Air boasts exceptional performance thanks to the M1 chip found in some Mac models. The chip features an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU, providing superior performance for both everyday tasks and more demanding applications, including video editing and graphic design. This power is combined with 8GB of RAM for smooth and efficient multitasking.
