Apple is reportedly working a new hybrid “MacPad” device that will combine the features of an iPad with a MacBook while making use of a 20-inch folding display.
Ariel Zilber for The New York Post:
The Cupertino, California-based company is reportedly considering two options for its new “iPad-MacBook hybrid”. One possibility is that it could feature a single foldable screen that is attached to a physical keyboard.
But Apple appears to be leaning toward a second design, in which half of the new device’s display would serve as a virtual keyboard and a trackpad, according to Bloomberg, which cited Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants…
[The device] is expected to be released sometime in 2026, the same year that the iPhone maker is reportedly set to roll out its much-anticipated electric car.
