“a few” … it literally cuts the length in half. For me personally, something like this is much desired. Having a 3x3x.5" block vs a 6x3x.25" block would be a major improvement.
Which I’m totally okay with. In some of my clothes my pockets are doing gymnastics to try and fit the giant brick (because the phone is a long as the full length of my pocket). If you don’t have/like baggy pockets, these huge screen, long phones are a huge pain.
Having it be “twice as thick” means it’s about as thick as my wallet (and I have no complaints with that).
My thoughts exactly. I gain almost nothing with this design change, as compared to keeping the current or similar-to “bar” form and folding out from there.
I’m starting to have visions of Zoolander and his ridiculously small cell phone…
Of all the foldable clamshell is the worst, doubling the width of your phone to save a few cm of height is so useless.
If it’s gotta be a folding phone make it fold out into an iPad.

Been using the fold from 2-6. While this statement is true from 2-4, def untrue for 5 and 6.
iPhone pro max weight 7.81oz. Fold 6: 8.43 oz
7% more weight
iPhone pro max: 8.25mm Fold 6: 12.1mm folded
So about 30% thicker and 7% more weight for essentials double the real estate. Seems like a no brainer for me.
