Watch out, Samsung – Apple's folding iPad could be game-changing

While the Apple rumour mill is busy churning out leaks and tidbits about the upcoming iPhone 15, we've also heard tell that a folding iPhone could be on the horizon. But it seems Apple might be planning to take things one step further with a folding iPad. And with Samsung announcing not one but two folding phones this week, the market is showing no signs of folding (sorry).

New reports suggest that not only is Apple working on a folding smartphone, but it also plans to extend the concept to its tablet – and it could enter the fold as soon as next year. (Don't fancy waiting? Check out the best iPad Pro deals available now.)
