Your next iPad might be a folding model, if an analyst's predictions are correct.

Apple will release a foldable iPad with a carbon fiber kickstand in 2024, according to noted Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. 

Kuo says the new foldable iPad will have a carbon fiber kickstand to make it lighter and more durable, presumably compared to an iPad's Magic Keyboard. The kickstand would be manufactured by Chinese firm Anjie Technology.

Thus, I'm taking a cautious approach to iPad shipments for 2023, predicting a YoY decline of 10-15%. Nevertheless, I'm positive about the foldable iPad in 2024 and expect this new model will boost shipments and improve the product mix.
