He adds that this could go on to impact the supply chain because of the surge in the number of components. Without mentioning much about his source, Lin additionally revealed that the iPad will be powered by one of Apple’s A-series processors. There’s no clarity on the actual size of this foldable iPad or the size of the MacBook on which it would be based on. None of the current Apple devices supports 5G connectivity. However, the upcoming lineup of iPhones will probably support 5G and considering that the speculation suggests this foldable iPad with 5G capability is coming out in 2020, it still makes sense for Apple’s tablet segment to get a 5G update.
