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.

Amazon devices are remarkably good value considering what they cost. The performance is fine and for ebooks and audiobooks their offerings are really nice.
