Apple’s rumoured foldable iPhone (possibly iPhone Flip) might launch in 2026, but display crease, and design are roadblocks.

    “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).

        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.
