Apple has paused development on a larger foldable iPad due to manufacturing challenges, high costs, and modest demand, while continuing to develop a foldable iPhone expected to launch next year. The foldable iPad, rumored to be between 18.8 and 20.2 inches with OLED technology, may be revisited in the future when display tech becomes more affordable.
Apple is expected to launch its mixed reality headset, Apple Vision Pro, in March 2024, missing its original target of January. The complex design of the headset has led to production challenges, resulting in Apple cutting its production forecasts. Initially, the headset will only be available in the US, with a later expansion to other markets. Apple is preparing its retail employees for the launch by providing Vision Pro training, and flagship stores will have dedicated hands-on areas for customers to try the headset. The development of the headset is nearing completion, as Apple recently released the sixth beta of visionOS, the software designed for the device.
