Apple's Large-Sized Foldable Device Could Have an Amazon Rival

Amazon is developing a large-sized foldable device similar to the one Huawei unveiled on Monday, according to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

"My research indicates that Amazon is also internally developing a similar product, which has not yet officially kicked off," said Kuo in a post on X (Twitter). Kuo added that the device is projected to enter mass production in late 2026 or 2027 if development progresses on schedule.

Apple is rumored to be planning a foldable device of a similar vein. Rumors suggest that the dual-screen foldable will be around 13 inches when folded and 18.8 inches when unfolded. Rumors are conflicting on whether it will be an iPad or a MacBook, but the defining factor will be the operating system.

Kuo believes Apple's large-sized foldable is scheduled to enter mass production in late 2027 or 2028. Apple is concurrently developing a foldable iPhone that is expected to launch towards the end of 2026.

Yeah, it'll be stupidly slow and laggy like every Amazon device I have.

Amazon has zero interest in high end hardware. I am sure they are doing R&D like everyone else, but anything they develop won’t become a shipping product until they can make it super cheap.

As a long time Kindle user I’m really interested to see what Amazon comes up with. I hope it’s a lot better than that awful Colorsoft device they launched last year.
