I don't see Apple jumping on this bandwagon until it is popularized and settled upon the thing won't break after a year of use, and sure they can infer this by early 2020, but I doubt Apple is in any rush to push such a device.

Of course it's coming, and likely at this point Apple is already shifting its orders of processors from Intel over the next 2 years as a clear sign to intel.

I see no reason for the 5g model to be separate from the 4g models, is there a reason for that other than charging higher prices for 5g access?

Well lets see a folding smartphone/tablet that might actually work. It's a 4 in a half inch smartphone or 7 inch tablet, so I guess catering to only those wanting a 4 inch smartphone as it in tablet mode is less than an inch bigger than the much cheaper S10+.
Quite frankly at a hair under $2k price I much rather buy a $1k iPhone and $1k iPad Pro with 2 devices for the same price. I knew first gen is expensive but I can't see people seriously considering this type of device until it was $1500 or less(which would make it only a couple hundred more over the iPhone XS MAX when accounting for storage upgrade. Now with that said, nothing would make me actually consider a Samsung smartphone, Im just speaking for other brands or likely those who do like Samsung will likely not want this device.

The announcement of the iMac Pro alongside the iMac 2017 update is likely what the hold up is. They might be considering a new thinner bezel design like the recent MacBooks, and they know that whatever the update is they have to keep the iMac Pro to just as new hardware to keep the clear distinction and same external design. At over double the price the iMac Pro is  certainly not taking away iMac sells but rather the opposite happens, especially if they are updated out of sync. There is also that new (presumably thunderbolt) display coming this year, no doubt they want to include the same display on the next iMac updates, whether it keeps the 27" 5k design or introduces a new 30+" 6k design.
