Samsung reportedly expects Apple to launch a foldable iPad in 2024

To me it is hard to imagine that Samsung could derive Apple’s future plans from the components they produce for them today. My feeling is that actual production planning starts at most 12 months before a new product‘s introduction. Not two years.

The way the story goes, it sounds more like someone at Samsung wanted to throw their management a real juicy reason why it would make sense to develop a foldable tablet.

If it doesn't fit somewhere that it didn't fit before (e.g. a pocket) when folded, I don't really see the point.
