Kuo said Anjie Technology will be the new beneficiary of the new foldable iPad. “There may be no new iPad releases in the next 9-12 months as the iPad mini refresh is more likely to begin mass production in 1Q24,” he tweeted.
He also stated that the new iPad might feature a carbon fiber kickstand. “Carbon fiber material will make the kickstand lighter and more durable,” he noted. Kuo wrapped up the thread by stating that Anjie Technology, as a polishing and bonding supplier of this kickstand for the foldable iPad, is expected to continue benefiting from the growing trend of foldable devices equipped with kickstands in the future.
