Overview
- The unannounced device, internally code-named J312, has reportedly been delayed from a 2028 target to 2029 or beyond.
- Apple is said to be working with Samsung Display on an approximately 18-inch OLED panel designed to minimize the crease.
- Prototype units reportedly weigh about 3.5 pounds, far heavier than current iPad Pro models, raising usability concerns.
- Test designs lack an external screen; the device resembles a closed Mac laptop and opens to roughly a 13-inch laptop-sized display.
- Reports peg the U.S. price target around $3,000, and some people involved question whether the product will ship at all; Apple declined to comment.
