🙀 How did you know this is exactly what Tim Cook was thinking when he told the design team to bean count everything? 🤣🤣🤣
I checked the 17 PM and I really decided not to upgrade my 16PM ( felt like a downgrade design wise - for me - it looks terrible)
Tastes differ from each other.
Still, I am glad, will wait for the fold, and put some $$$ aside till next year.

Switching from iPad mini to folding phones makes sense since the unfolded size is comparable.
11 inch iPads (which I have) are still bigger than unfolded phones though
I’ve used each version of Google’s Pixel foldable for the past two years in my second line and I’m convinced. I have a household full of Apple gear and have been using an iPhone since the original model but this year I’m moving my main line into a Pixel 10 pro fold. My iPhone will be my second phone. I won’t go back to just a candy bar style smart phone. Genuinely looking forward to what Apple does with their foldable.
Probably more like $2,000 and it's going to be repair nightmare if damaged!
I'd be very interested in a foldable, and do not care what material would be used, but
. needs faceid
. needs a minimum of 2 rear cameras
without the above, it'll be a non-starter for me

These “analysts” are jokers.
They either predict plausible or most likely events in the near future, or they make speculative predictions for far-off future.
If they don’t get it right it’s due to delays and revisions are made for the next refresh cycle.

Maybe sell legs? Cause this foldable would be near impossible to use with only one hand. /s
I can only speak for myself but the questions I have for a foldable iPhone does not include what type of metal is used for the frame. Kind of like thinking about a future car model and wondering if the leather is Corinthian or not.

$2000 for the base model. $8000 for a 2TB model. Apple finally adds SLC 2TB chips back to their iPhone lineup after so many years.
240g being heavy just shows how weak most folks arms are at lifting stuff. Tbf I would not last long if I had to lift up 300g for more than just a few minutes but damn.
on second thought, I'm gonna get two iPhone Airs and tape em together. Hah
That's so dumb when it's been widely reported already that the Air is a byproduct of the folding iPhone development.
And yes, Apple is excelling at hardware. No need for the quotation marks.
Yeah, but it’ll get to a point where maybe that won’t be an issue. Removing the crease altogether would be perfect perfection. Then making it rug, it would be even far more attractive, especially with the possibility that it might be super expensive.
I think he means the actual geniuses that work in the store which to be honest I’ve had my experience as well where they are not really a genius and the support that they provide it’s probably not super great
Right, but it won’t prove anything because anything is breakable, including the iPhone 6 plus which to be honest if you’re talking about the iPhone, it’s basically the same format. The only difference is that they made some hardware upgrades to it and set up a difference. Look for the camera, but essentially it’s the same thinness
I would say the same thing except I just don’t really like the fact that it still has the crease easily visible. Honestly, as Samsung finally releases a trifold that would be interesting and enough for me to move to it if crease is less visible. Otherwise, I would probably just wait for this fold to review and see.
Or more likely a device that needs to be replaced every 3 years.
Well, they could just make it simple and just say it’s the Fold. Or the brand new iPhone and remove the traditional iPhone and transition it over to the air.
