Amazon reportedly developing a foldable tablet that could launch as early as next year
Huawei's new MateBook Fold laptop surprised, and it's got people around the tech world talking. Here in the United States, people are looking at Apple and its long-rumored folding iPad or MacBook. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo put in his two cents today (May 20), saying that Apple's competition "may not be limited to Huawei." He claimed that his "research indicates" that Amazon is developing a "similar product," though he says that it hasn't officially "kicked off" yet. Kuo says that if no delays hit the project, it should go into mass production in 2026 or 2027. In comparison, Apple's much-rumored 18.8-inch foldable tablet/note PC/monitor is supposed to go into production in 2027 or 2028. Display analyst Ross Young hopped into the X thread saying he's known about a "foldable Amazon tablet for some time." Kuo responded, saying that Amazon has been researching it for a while. You rarely get two leakers directly agreeing with one another about a potential future product. We don't have any other details about what kind of device Amazon might be making beyond a tablet. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Largely, Apple's rumored foldable device is supposed to be giant with an 18.8-inch display. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claimed it would look like "two iPad Pros side-by-side." Huawei's MateBook Fold features a 13-inch screen in laptop mode. It has two virtual screens and a built-in soft keyboard. Crazily, it's not cheap, costing 23,999 yuan (about $3,330) for the base model, which features 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Those are eye-popping numbers even for Apple products. It could be argued that the Huawei XT Mate triple-folding phone is just the company's attempt to be first, and the price doesn't really matter. Meanwhile, 2027 looks like the year of the foldable as Apple finally joins the fray against whatever Samsung is doing by then, and potentially Amazon will throw its hat into the ring.

Apple foldable with 18.8-inch display might launch with an Amazon rival
Over the past few months, one of the more intriguing Apple-related leaks has revolved around the company's ongoing development of foldable devices. Not only is Apple rumoured to launch its first-ever foldable phone with a 7.8-inch internal display in 2026, but the company is also said to be working on a massive 18.8-inch foldable iPad or laptop — or whatever Apple eventually decides to market it as when the product finally the latest development, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Amazon is also internally testing a similar large-screen device. If all goes according to plan, the device could enter production in late 2026 or 2027. Source: Ming Chi Kuo/ X (formerly Twitter) In the same post, shared via X (formerly Twitter), Kuo also noted that Apple's large-screen foldable is now expected to enter production in late 2027 or 2028. For those unfamiliar with the project, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman discussed Apple's large foldable in his newsletter back in December. He wrote, 'Apple designers are developing something akin to a giant iPad that unfolds into the size of two iPad Pros side-by-side. The Cupertino, California-based company has been honing the product for a couple of years now and is aiming to bring something to market around 2028, I'm told Last week, a document alleging to show Apple's display plans was posted on X. It indicated the iPhone maker aims to use an 18.8-inch foldable screen between 2028 and 2030. That generally lines up with what I've heard about an Apple foldable computer.'advertisementEven Gurman isn't entirely certain whether the product will be marketed as a giant iPad or a foldable MacBook. That said, if you want a rough idea of how this kind of device might actually look — you don't have to wait three to five Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate is a thin and light laptop with a massive 18-inch OLED display that folds in half, similar to how we are used to seeing on foldable phones. Quite literally, in one of its use cases, you can open it like a giant digital magazine and use both screens side by again, this is Apple we're talking about. The company has never aimed to be first with the latest tech — instead, it waits, refines, and releases a version that is often the most polished and user-ready on the for Amazon, while it's interesting to hear they're working on a similar device, the company doesn't exactly have a glowing track record when it comes to hardware success in the consumer space. Still, it's an intriguing avenue — and given how few options there are in this segment right now, it's clear there's a gap waiting to be filled. Whether the mainstream market will be ready for this kind of form factor in a few years is something only time will Apple succeed? Historically, its user base has been quick to adopt new form factors when the company gets them right. And while a device like the Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate — as capable as it is — is only available in China, Apple entering the scene is bound to change the landscape. As for Amazon, we'll just have to wait and see.

What the Tech: Graduation gift ideas
It's May, and graduation season is in full swing. While cash is always appreciated, why not give the grads in your life something a little more personal and practical? In today's high-tech world, equipping graduates with the right gadgets can give them a serious head start, whether they're heading to college or entering the so-called real world. Gone are the days of generic gift cards and luggage. Today's grads need tools that can keep up with their tech-driven lives. Let's start with a backpack upgrade. Chances are, their old school bag has seen better days. The Peak Design Everyday Backpack is a sleek, sturdy, and smart choice. With side access zippers, a padded laptop sleeve, adjustable sections, and magnetic straps that stay out of the way. I found it to be lightweight and capable of carrying all the tech they usually have with them. For those times when a full-sized laptop feels like overkill, the iPad Pro offers a powerful and portable alternative. Paired with a keyboard, it's capable of handling note-taking, Zoom calls, creative projects, and even gaming. iPad Pros can replace laptops for most people, and, depending on what they do, apps can make an iPad Pro even better than lugging a laptop from place to place. Another fantastic gift idea is a portable second monitor. Viewsonic, Asus, and other brands have jumped into the portable monitor business for anyone who works remotely or just needs more screen space. These slim, lightweight monitors add valuable screen space, whether they're working in tight dorm rooms or crowded coffee shops. Some connect via USB, while others work wirelessly, connecting to the laptop with a dongle and are chargeable, so there's no need to plug it into an outlet. They easily slip into a backpack and are compatible with laptops, tablets, and phones. To help grads make their new space feel like home, consider a Google Pixel Tablet. This all-in-one device functions as a smart display, tablet, streaming device, and personal assistant. With its camera for video chat, it's easy to stay connected. The tablet can set reminders, check the weather, stream YouTube, and play music all hands-free, making it the ultimate desktop companion. I recommend adding the mount that includes a speaker for better sound. These tech gifts aren't just flashy; they're practical, thoughtful, and designed to help graduates thrive in their next adventure. And, if I must say, better than a card with cash.

Apple's First Foldable iPhone May Launch by 2026: New Rumors
More speculation continues to build that Apple's long-rumored foldable iPhone could debut as soon as next year. Noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported Wednesday that the company is planning to launch a foldable iPhone at the end of 2026 or early 2027. According to Kuo, the book-style device could be priced between $2,000 and $2,500. It's expected to feature a 7.8-inch crease-free inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display, which aligns with other rumors. Despite the steep price tag, Kuo believes Apple's dedicated fanbase will generate strong replacement demand, with projected shipments of 3 to 5 million units initially and up to 20 million for the second generation. Read more: iPhone 'Flip': The Apple Foldable May Still Be Coming as Competition Grows The report comes as Apple remains the only major smartphone manufacturer without a foldable device. The company has reportedly been working on one for years but has faced challenges with the phone's hinge and durability of the display screen. Foldable phones still make up only a small segment of the market, but are projected to experience significant growth in the next few years, especially if Apple enters the space. Bloomberg reported in December that Apple is developing a large foldable iPad that could expand to the size of two iPad Pros. The largest current size iPad is 13 inches, but to make playing games and viewing shows and movies better, the screen on the rumored model would open wider and fold when not in use, making it easier to carry. According to market research firm IDC, total global sales of foldable phones reached 19.3 million units in 2024, up 6.3% from 2023 levels, Samsung led the way, followed closely by Huawei, Motorola and Honor. Foldables are typically priced high around $1200. Of course, the foldable numbers make for a stark contrast compared to the 1.4 billion total smartphones shipped in 2024. Ramon Llamas, a research director at IDC, told CNET it's uncertain if an Apple foldable would find a sizable audience. "A lot will depend on the use case and the price point," he said. "But what would be interesting is that such a device would practically eliminate the need to own an iPhone and an iPad."
