Apple has decided to pause work on its much-anticipated foldable iPad. The company made this decision after facing ongoing technical challenges that have slowed progress on the device.

According to Digitimes, Apple has not provided a new timeline for when or if the foldable iPad will be released. The project has encountered several hurdles, particularly related to the durability and reliability of the folding display technology. These challenges have made it difficult for Apple to move forward with development at this time.

With the foldable iPad on hold, Apple may now focus its resources on other devices and projects. The company has not commented on when it might resume work on the foldable iPad or if the project will be revisited in the future.

This pause means that consumers looking forward to a foldable iPad will need to wait longer, as there is currently no clear indication of when the device might become available.
