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

      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.
