Thanks, but I have zero interest in using an Android phone.
Got a tip for us?

Foldable iPhone's Screen Sizes Leaked

Is this the return of the iPhone Mini?!?!!!! I'm in!!!!!
that's what she said....
Except it will almost certainly be thicker and definitely heavier than a Mini.
The rumor indicates the iFold size is perfect to be iPhone mini when folded and to be iPad mini when unfolded. This device is so perfect in size for those who love both. The best one will be both devices now in one pocketable device.
Almost, but you cannot not use Apple pen on foldables. The screens are too weak
I don't have telephoto yet to know what I'm missing, and I prefer touchId to FaceId. I'll start saving my tithe to Apple now!
Of course it will be. The air is thicker and heavier than a mini.
Somewhat it is the return of the iPhone mini with extra iPad mini when unfolded. It is such a perfect two “mini” devices in one.
The Fold will probably be 4x the cost of an iPad mini, so probably not.
And they will lock into a contract for 5 years.
I have both, but I do not want to always be carrying them both (in one device).
I don't use them like that.
Having my iPhone Mini & iPad Mini be discrete devices is a huge positive for me.
It'll cost more than the iPhone Mini + iPad mini, so naa. It's also going to weigh quite a bit more than a 13 Mini, which is 141g.
Finally, there isn't a phone in the world, Apple or otherwise, that is worth north of $2000.

Sounds right. iPad mini now is pocketable when folded to be an iPhone mini. It is a perfect “mini” hybrid device.
Well, ... take a look here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ls.2474744/page-6?post=34338592#post-34338592
No, not quite.
5.4 is just one measurement, it says nothing about the aspect ratio.
Assuming the rumors stick and the inside display is close to a 4 X 3 aspect ratio, the outside 5.3 inch display will be very wide and short, while the Mini display was more tall and narrow.
So…not really the same at all.
Ya, you mentioned that… about a hundred times yesterday. LOL
I’m looking forward to the foldable iPhone, but it won’t be an iPad replacement for most of us. First of all, because of aspect ratio, which will be necessarily weird either on folded mode or on unfolded mode.
Buzzer sound.
Heavier, not thicker.
7.7 MM thick on the Mini, 5.6 MM on the Air.
That's an awfully personal question, my friend!
It’s not a “mini” phone in size. What distinguishes the iPhone mini is its ability to be used one-handed, due to its limited width and weight. The foldable iPhone won’t have these properties.
We didn't say we wanted a "foldable". We said "affordable".
My 17PM was 1099, my 13 iPad Air 849, so combined 1949. If I assume for now that the fold might start at 1999, in my case it's pretty much a wash, and I'd prefer a single device over 2 separate ones, for me that is.
But if it were a "simple/single" phone, yes, 2k is way too much.
But of course we all have different need and use cases
