Latest on Apple’s AR glasses and foldable iPad (per Mark Gurman)

Augmented Reality Glasses

• Goal: lighter‑weight AR glasses that overlay digital information onto the real world, eventually replacing the iPhone.
• Target launch window: 2028‑2030.
• Apple is also working on AI smart glasses that could debut later this year or early 2027, with shipments slated for 2027.
• Breakthroughs in the smart‑glasses effort may make the 2028 AR‑glass launch feasible.

Foldable iPad

• Project: roughly 20‑inch “iPad Fold.”
• Described as a Ternus priority, but its future is uncertain; some insiders doubt it will ever ship.
• Previously, the launch was pushed from a late‑2026 window to as late as 2028.
• If the upcoming foldable iPhone Ultra (see iPhone Ultra article) succeeds, Apple might fast‑track the iPad Fold.

The timeline for Apple’s AR glasses remains fluid, but a 2028 launch is still on the table. Meanwhile, the iPad Fold’s fate is still being debated among sources.
