Apple's 2026 Foldable iPhone Rumored to Use Titanium and Aluminum Frame

Can’t wait to have basically a folded iPad mini for on the go tasks

Isn't the general view that Apple's hardware is . . . really good?

Many years using a full complement of Apple computers, iPads, iPhones and accessories reveals the true excellence of their hardware.

Perfect? No, but very close in many instances. Simply ideal for my mission critical work.

I'll just get the Apple Miracle Crease Polishing Cloth ($99) when this drops, and wait one more year for the nano-graphene liquid unobtainium update.

I found it on sale for $98.50 🤣

No mention of a flip phone? Not sold on a Fold, which will be a heavy slab when folded.

I think only Motorola and a Chinese company or two make flip phones. Foldable phones seem to be more popular.

I think because they merge the tablet and phone to make people justify the price.

It would almost be like a iPad Mini.

This is logical. Also, for people who travel now with both iPhone and iPad.

But the criteria that a Fold lacks is being pocketable, as a Flip would be. I can’t put an iPad mini in my pocket either.

One thing you can be assured of is that this will undermine the iPad product-line...

Apple has historically not been afraid to cannibalize themselves (nor should they be); think iPod and iPod nano.

If they're charging $2k for this device, they have nothing to fear of losing an iPad sale.

However, combining the two would mean that you would have neither a compact smartphone nor a sufficiently large tablet. In practical terms, this would be rather impractical. 😂

Let's be honest: for years, we were thrilled that the thick, heavy cell phones of the early days had been replaced by light, small devices. Now we're heading back in the other direction.

Let's see what features Apple adds to it that make it a stellar product used in either orientation...

People road around on horseback fine and dandy for many years as well...

If you're inferring a foldable phone is to a slab phone as a car is to a horse … nahhhh. More like some people prefer an English saddle to a Western saddle if we're talking equine comparisons.

This is a tech forum. The vast majority of people in here don't give the slightest **** about different saddles. I'll stick to my original comparison.

They probably don't give much **** about horses either, but that was your analogy.
