For an 18.8-inch model, Apple scrapped its 20.25-inch foldable rumour.

The new foldable device would not be launched until 2027 or 2028.

As reasons of launching delay, technical challenges have been indicated.

Being called either foldable iPad or MacBook causes confusion about the device.

This expected device might work as a touchscreen keyboard or iMac.
