Apple have to make this folding phone bigger to compete at least 6.5 outer screen
This phone will be perfect for when I’m doing my school studies on the go especially at work instead of taking my iPad or laptop to work and study while I’m on break.
Would.
I don't see the point of them. Videos will still play in the same size, just with huge black bars top and bottom, shorts too, but with black bars on the sides. Reading articles may be more pleasant but how many people actually do that these days and if they do, is an iphone pro max too small?
Hopefully i-pencil compatible on main and inner screen. And of course, IP68.
i hope they make it like a pocket book size not like a phablet size. Kinda like around the size of Surface Duo. Not too big, easy to hold and open with one hand but still big enough screen size.
When will we get iPhone NEO

On a fold 5 Paid 600 refurbished Does an amazing job all around. Honestly not complicated and very useful. Its the future norm..
I’m thinking Touch ID instead of Face ID is an upgrade.
Bring back the Razor
If the iphone fold supports the pencil, I'm in, ordering the minute it becomes available. If it doesn't, meh, I'll wait.
Apple used to have a PowerBook Duo. Most have probably forgotten, but it was actually a cool ultralight (for its era) laptop design to slip into a dock that would transform it into a desktop computer, as the slotted dock would of course charge the laptop and also act as a dock with ports to external monitor, keyboard, mouse, external storage, printer, etc.
Maybe they’ll call it the iPhad?
No face recognition is a killer, most of my passwords are face rec.
At 02:30, diameter? You mean diagonally
Yes .. I’ve been waiting for Apple to make folding iPhone.
So basically the og Google pixel fold but Apple
