The iPad Ought to Fold in Half

Share

Folding an iPad in half may seem like a terrible idea if you want to continue using it, but let’s consider this: what if it could fold in half to become an amazing folding phone?

Apple has already achieved remarkable thinness with the iPad Pro, making it thinner than most phones and every other computer they offer. So, why not make it foldable? The slimmest iPad Pro is just 5.1mm thick – fold it in half, and it would only be slightly thicker than an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Imagine the possibilities! And if Apple insists on features like a floating tab bar for multitasking, why not just transform the iPad into a phone?

Speaking of innovations, have you seen the new handwriting features in iPadOS 18? With the Apple Pencil, you can write notes and let Smart Script tidy up your handwriting. Plus, you can erase and edit seamlessly, making it a game-changer for digital note-taking.

Now, imagine writing notes on a large, tablet-like screen and then folding it in half to take it on the go. It just makes sense! While Apple may prefer selling separate devices, the idea of a foldable iPad is undeniably intriguing.

So, while Apple may not be on board with the idea yet, the concept of a foldable iPad definitely has potential to revolutionize the way we use technology. Who knows, maybe in the near future, we’ll all be carrying around foldable iPads instead of separate devices.
