idk i’m so used to getting my iphones for free or $200 with trade in via my carrier that even if my carrier gives $1000 off with trade in, an iPhone Fold would still $800-$1000 out of my pocket.
the fold would have to really amaze me for me to move from the Pro Max. I find the combo of 14in MBP + iPhone Pro Max to be the perfect combo. No need for an ipad for me.
I value the cameras and battery life of my Pro Max too much. From what the rumors have been pointing to, it’s going to be a iphone air type fold but with a weird small square 5.5in front display which would be really weird.
so as of right now, it’s a no from me.

I use the iPad mini when I'm out and about so I get how much nicer having a bigger display is. The downside is having to carry two devices. Consolidating would be nice but not at $2k+.
I currently have zero interest in a folding phone. But, in 2007 I insisted I’d never be interested in an iPhone type phone, I didn’t understand the hype… but I went to the Apple Store on release day to check it out, went home and couldn’t stop thinking about it, and went back the next day and bought one. All downhill from there lmao. Cost might be what truly keeps me away though. I’m fairly poor and can never buy my phones outright, and I don’t have unlimited EIP credit availability with T-Mobile.
Absolutely not. This is Apple, these greedy pigs will price it between $2,500-$3,000+. Figure it out, the top 2TB 17 PM is $2,000 NOW. That is not even a foldable. They will have another Vision Pro moment, just watch. The way this world is going economically and as a whole. I severely doubt it will even happen tbh. 🤷🏼♂️
not a week goes by i wish imessage were on android, so i could purchase a moto razr and have at it. quite literally the perfect form, in my opinion—small screen for media controls/quick responses, and wide screen for video/texting.
i prefer the “flip” to the “fold” due to the considerably smaller footprint, and the fact that the square aspect ratio doesn’t do much for content consumption—it just makes even taller black bars. no thanks, but i understand the use case for an ipad mini-esque experience in a traditional phone’s footprint.
regardless, i’ll hold onto my 14pm another couple years at most (with a battery replacement, and since the stainless steel+glass pairing is so satisfying), so i selfishly hope apple does have a folding device out by then! exciting stuff!!

Web surfing (desktop mode, of course), games, texting, shopping, listening to music and podcasts via Bose Ultras, home automation….. everything except actual phone calls and serving up music to my cars. Those two things I leave to my phone. When I’m home, my cell sits in a dock downstairs in the kitchen, and I carry around my iPad for everything. Outside the home, my cell stays in my pocket until I need to make a phone call. Everything else I do on my iPad mini.
No. An OLED iPad mini alongside an iPhone would be my preferred setup. Combining them into one device would do nothing for me other than give me a very expensive device with additional breakable components to worry about all day. For me, having those separate devices is just so much more versatile.
That's the thing - right now a lot of people could say they don't really have a use for a ipad mini inside an iphone. But, I think it's one of those things, once you get it - you discover other features and then you don't want to go without.
Apple are the masters of this.
