Alleged Foldable iPhone Specs Detailed in Questionable Rumor

[iMac The Knife]

Thick & Heavy, No thanks

Maybe Apple's foldable would be, but my Honor Magic V3 Global actually weighs 1 gram less than an iPhone 16PM and it is only just over 1mm thicker than the 16PM when it is folded.

I need a iPhone that folds right now. So tired of the same brick design year after year.

Cool. So two bricks one stacked on top of each other with twice the number of parts that can break.

That’s why there are so many used folding phones for sale on second hand markets and so many broken on eBay.

It’s a dead fad that is still trying to be a thing after so many models.

The next big selling point for phones will be very high res and fast 3D scene capture. We’re starting to see the beginnings of this.

Too many trade offs

- durability concerns
- clunky
- heavy
- poor battery life
- visible fold

A fixed L shape? 😀

By always being half-open and half-closed, it would embody dynamism itself

It's good to know that the ones I've tried have plastic film on the screen, because that felt awful to use. That still leaves the hinges and crease still bothering me, but I guess I'm just arguing. I'm not in the target market for a folding phone. I hated the Motorola flip phone I had back in the day, the one that everyone seemed to love. I paid out my contract early just so I could replace it!

As someone that has used a Flip 5 and 6. I would love a Flip iPhone.

If I had to buy a foldable phone, I would rather get the bookstyle rather than the clamshell.

Apple needs to make the next foldable the size of an iPhone mini thus killing two birds with one stone. 📱📱👏

I've seen drop tests, but I'm not sure an iPhone, especially with a foldable screen, will survive being thrown at a bird, let alone two.
