Foldable iPhone Resolutions Leak With Under-Screen Camera Tipped

Not something I could see myself buying, since I prefer a phone and tablet separate, but the under screen camera seems intriguing.
I’ll just give you my use-case; others will have theirs: I’m an attorney who frequently needs to open e-mailed documents. This is near-useless on a phone, as I have to go through lots of contortions to read the document itself. On this phone, I could do it.
Beyond that, I sometimes open photos and would love to see bigger versions without having to carry an iPad. Same thing for videos and books.
Those are just a few things that have me excited for this device.
It sure about that. $500 compared to say $1500+. The only thing that is going to kill the iPad mini is how apple advertises it. Then again, apple doesn’t really show the barious ways their devices could be used
I wonder if these will squeak, like an old door or that recalcitrant step you always step on at 2am, after a few years.
Another comparison, the outer 5.49” screen against the 6.9” Pro Max screen.
It does roughly match up, see below. The inner screen has a bit of extra space at the crease.
“we’re getting the Mini back, sorta!” 😄🎉🥰
“and it’s gonna cost $2000 and have a plastic screen” 😨

Apple has noise-canceling tech that should solve that.
Nah. There's no way a foldable display lasts a few years.
Foldable screens are horrible. I'm honestly shocked that Apple is even considering something that's going to be that level of garbage.
But then why make a whole in the display instead of playing it on the shell?
As an iPad Mini user who likes the idea of combining my iPhone and iPad Mini, I definitely like that the inner screen may be less square and more rectangular. Most of the current book style foldables have nearly square inner screens which isn't great for most content I'd use a tablet for.
Although that rumored price which could go higher at release may price me out though.

I see your point, although many people buy previous generation iPhones, or the SE/16e, which are closer to $600-700.
It's not an iPad Mini killer; it's an iPhone Pro Max + iPad Mini killer; especially if you usually upgrade the storage on both your phone and tablet.

I really hope all these rumours are true because so far they are describing a very enticing device for me to replace my Pro Max iPhone and iPad Mini with.
according to grok it said this, "QHD, or Quad HD, typically refers to a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. Your display at 2,713 x 1,920 has a higher resolution than QHD, with more pixels in both width and height. You can play QHD video on this display without any issues. Since your display’s resolution exceeds QHD, QHD content will either be displayed natively (with black bars or stretching, depending on the player) or upscaled slightly to fill the screen, maintaining excellent quality."
This phone isn't targeted at us peasants. Apple is after the filthy rich--and plebs with misguided sense of priorities--with this phone. When I see an ad for ultra luxurious items, the ads makes zero sense to me. Apparently, it makes sense to rich people though.
Don't poo-poo the foldable iPhone just because it's not the device for you. Frankly I think it's an odd duck myself. Just goes to show I'm not the target demographic.
