I need to get one of these tech analyst gigs if this is the level of insight that is enough to get paid.

I haven’t been that excited since the iPad then the Apple Watch rumors … I was first on the line for both and will have my hopes very high for this new product … Same for the aGlasses and the MacBook Pro touch screen … Bring it on!
 
Has anyone noticed that the size of the closed phone is pretty close to the specs for an iPhone 13 mini? It may be a bit more square, and a bit deeper (the depth when closed hasn't been leaked that I've seen), and likely heavier with that battery, but folded up it's a close match.

It's going to be ironic if we get another "mini" that's the most maxi iPhone ever.

Why are you an active forum member if you dislike the site? My psychological analyst vlog will comment on this behavior further.
 
The reason for TouchID seems pretty straight forward. FaceID would work either folded or unfolded, no way they put in double FaceID hardware.
 
Bigger battery is nice. But with a larger screen to support, don't think it will be having extraordinary battery life. Waiting to hear more rumors about the foldable in the coming months. Would like the foldable to have a telephoto lens, but looks unlikely and Apple will most probably go with an ultra wide lens.

Least they aren’t doing a Samsung and having a small battery

With apples optimisation this should be good
 
Any rumor in regards to next year’s line should be taken with a grain of salt until at least Feb/March.
 
I am curious if Apple is going to use IOS or iPadOS and how it's going to handle having apps look gorgeous and usable no matter how you use the app, whether unfolded, turned sideways, or folded. I am liking the new iPadOS windowing features so it will be interesting if that gets brought over to the IOS. I am curious what Apple's thoughts are for how we use the devices. I remember the iPad initially came with no calculator or mouse support. I also remember how native IOS apps that weren't converted to iPad absolutely sucked. I think Instagram is still using the ugly IOS screen for the iPad.

Samsung struggled with the apps initially not expanding correctly or in the right orientation, but hopefully Apple either planned for this years ago or they have plans so developers don't have to do anything with their apps or we have to go in to settings for each individual app.

I think if Apple nails the app layout, they ought to have an app that when connected to an external display, that it creates a "desktop" environment. Perhaps Apple ought to have a docking station that allows the phone to stand up, unfolded - and connect external devices. Much better than that Sling Pouch that they invented!

Anybody have any thoughts on this?
