Sketchy Rumor Suggests Apple to Launch Foldable iPad With 5G Support as Soon as 2020

I am loving my 11” ipad pro. It’s powerful & portable. But I also got an ipad mini 5 when i want to go really portable. I would not be adverse to the idea of combining these two. But the tech would really have to be stellar. I do all my photo & video editing as well as my artwork on my 11” iPP and am not willing to compromise just to have a foldable version.
This "sketchy" prediction, I predict, is 100% horse pucky.
Do they even teach that anymore?
Apple is designing this for a future when touch typing isn’t commonplace — I’d argue it already is on its way out.
Oh, no. I just learned it over the years by typing a lot. ASDFJKL; ? Lol. I don't know what you'd call my technique, but it aint that (for you kiddies--that's where you're supposed to rest your fingers).
All I want is the portrait-size keyboard in landscape mode. First they waste screen space, and then they suck it all up.
Now we know why Ive left, folding be definition makes things thicker.
Don’t trust 5G, I think it’s going to cause heath issues due to its power and the way it works, and is untested.
Anyway I don’t buy this one, considering the mess Samsung made I’m not sure Apple would be ready to launch a device like this? Dread to think how much they would charge for it!

I’d like a clam shell iPadOS device, but it doesn’t need a foldable screen. Just two touched screens attached with a hinge. If it’s something along these lines, I am in, as long as they don’t come out with a compromised product like the others.
everyones got it wrong
this is the 2020 MacBook Pro - no keyboard, no ports, no hinge, no power socket, no headphone port, totally water submersible.

I’d argue a folding tablet makes more sense than a phone. A folding phone is a spork solution, neither a good phone (too bulking) nor a good tablet (too small)
A tablet can go for from a nimble tablet to a large drawing/media device.
Sure and maybe Tim Apple finally got some innovation this time oh wait he still doesn't the only way this will work if a iPad was thinner and only for 5G not just Wi-Fi? Yeah nothing has changed here greedy. How about first giving us a foldable phone it least we have a good use for a 5G data on a phone.
This seems like one of those rumours we are keep hearing about for years now.
It will only go away when in 5 years they do it and it will ‘the low awaited, first rumoured in 2019’ or when Apple stands up and say no we’re not doing that.

I hope they still sell non bending models. I want nothing to do with warping and creases on my drawing tablet screen.
Folding devices for me fall into the same category as 3D and 48fps movies - desperate attempts to reinvigorate stagnating markets with gimmicks that can justify price hikes.
