So contrary to your previous post we agree that the iPhoneBook wont be their flagship since it would have to be really thick to fit all the ProMax stuff in it. Even in Samsung land, the fold is not their flagship and they've been at it for like 5 years. You will always be able to buy a flagship slab iPhone.
Got a tip for us?

The issue is I don't want a folding phone. I have plenty of other devices that have bigger screens and to me a decent screen is the one that I can handle without fatigue or possibility of dropping it because it's big and uncomfortable to use. I get that a lot of people love a huge phone, but I am not the only one who finds the current options unsatisfactory. And apparently the regular 17 is going to be at 6,3 inches. It's ridiculous.
Shareholders and techtubers craving new pointless content to churn out, that's really it.
At $2,000 you honestly believe it won’t have the latest tech in it? It will become their flagship.
Without seeing the iPhoneBook it's impossible to say; if they base the bodies off the iPhone Air, then it wont have the flagship cameras. Processor wise, it will likely have the same chip as the Pro phones. It will probably get the iPadOS split screen or maybe Stage Manager windows.
Samsung, for example, doesn't put their flagship tech in the Fold. That stuff goes in the Galaxy Ultra.
No
They only scratch if people are looking to damage them. No different to most phones
I seriously do NOT understand what apple is thinking
It's like their entire DEV team has ZERO creativity.
1.let's make i car... well. give 10 years .. and then .. well we tried but no more
2.vision pro.. just another product that's already out in the market and let's make apple version
and make it super expensive.. fail
3.apple tv.. yes.. we gonna create something unique.. comes up w/ the duds.. just run of the mill smart tv
with no innovation like they claim they will solve smart tv's interface
4.ok.. foldable phone has been out for a while so perhaps let's get in there and make it. maybe?
5.iphone.. uh... no we sat on any new ideas for past 6 years and just rely on incremental update w/ zero new
hot features... so dev team.. just sit back and relax because we are gonna buy AI from another company and
act like it is part of new iphone but never does
I mean.. do they have ANY department w/ some new innovation?? or creativity??

Many companies investigate product avenues that go nowhere eventually. It’s been going on since long before Apple came along. Incremental upgrade is nothing new either. Innovation is not done on an assembly line basis or on demand. Innovation is often born out of trial-and-error. And the research of something that didn’t pan out as expected can still yield positive and useful results for something else not anticipated.
Most technology we use everyday is mature tech that sees only incremental upgrades until, or if, something genuinely game-changing comes along. And innovation is often expensive at first, and if successful then trickles down to the mainstream.
