Apple reportedly testing large foldable iPad, launch seen for 2028

The detail that carries weight here is the supply chain, not the form factor: an exclusive ultra-thin glass arrangement with Corning and a defined processing role for GIS suggests Apple is lining up a narrow, specialized component base well ahead of any launch. That matters for display and cover-glass suppliers, where single-source positioning can shape who benefits from a new device category. Whether the reported 2028 timing holds, and whether the foldable iPad becomes a genuine new category or a niche flagship, is the open question worth tracking.
