Speculation Grows About a Foldable iPad or MacBook

The delay in Apple’s entry into foldable tech is attributed to its commitment to maintaining high-quality standards. Despite working with Samsung on displays, Apple is looking for a foldable panel that meets its strict requirements. Engineers, even from projects like Vision Pro, are now dedicated to perfecting the foldable technology.

The report hints at a delayed release, possibly not before 2025, due to Apple’s meticulous approach. While this delay might disappoint those anticipating a foldable iPhone, it sparks speculation about Apple’s debut form factors in the foldable market.

One possibility is a foldable iPad, with enthusiasts speculating about a redesigned iPad Mini featuring a foldable display. Such a device could offer portability without compromising on screen size, appealing to users wanting a compact yet powerful tablet.

Rumors of a foldable MacBook also circulate, though with less certainty. Some suggest Apple should focus on perfecting foldable tech for smaller devices before venturing into laptops.

In the end, whether Apple’s first foldable device is a foldable iPad, MacBook, or a surprise, one thing is certain: the tech world will closely watch as Apple reveals its vision for the future of foldable technology.

Apple Set to Resolve Trade Secrets Dispute Rivos: Tech Update 2024

In a joint court filing in California federal court on Friday, both companies informed the US District Court for the Northern District of California that they have reached an agreement potentially settling the case. This agreement grants Apple the opportunity to inspect Rivos’ systems and recover any confidential information.

The lawsuit was initiated by Apple in 2022, alleging that Rivos, a “stealth” startup based in Mountain View, California, had hired numerous Apple engineers and utilized their confidential information to develop competing “system-on-chip” (SoC) technology. SoCs are integrated circuits containing various computer components in a single chip, including central processing units and graphic processing units.

Apple emphasized that it invested billions of dollars and over a decade in research to advance its SoC designs, which played a pivotal role in transforming personal and mobile computing.

Rivos, rejecting the accusations, contended that Apple aimed to penalize both Rivos and any Apple employees considering employment there from the moment Apple became aware of the promising startup. In response, Rivos filed a countersuit against Apple last September, citing unfair competition.

Last month, Apple settled associated claims against six former employees who had departed the company to join Rivos. The details of the settlement between Apple and Rivos remain undisclosed, and representatives for both companies have not provided immediate comments on the matter.
