I agree. The entire point of a foldable is being unfolded, and should be optimized around that. Wider means you get a format better for video, better for thumb typing, better for multiple apps.
I bet it won’t run iOS. 🙂 That will always be the differentiator.
Should be fine unless you wear extra tight skinny jeans with tiny pockets
We'll see. I'm fairly trim and wear well-fitting clothes, and I can't comfortably fit a pro max in my pocket.
Yeah, I’ll be looking for the smallest possible smartphone next time around, and I’m afraid that will still be too large and heavy due to recent trends. Seems unless my pants have super deep pockets, I’m always concerned about the phone slipping out when I sit. Plus, I prefer clothes a bit on the loose side and I hate that the ProMax is enough to pull my pants down if not wearing a belt. I posted this as a joke on another thread a while back, but unfortunately, it’s not much of an exaggeration.
I am so looking forward to getting Apple version. Love the folded and unfolded form. It looks perfect for mini iPad with phone functionality. Awesome! Thanks to Huawei to show what Apple version will look like.
Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature a book-style form factor that's relatively uncommon in the foldables market, but Huawei's new Pura X Max appears to share a similar wide aspect ratio.
Set to be released in China next week, Huawei's new device actually builds upon a design used by the original, smaller Pura X, which was marketed last year as an extra-wide flip phone. Little is known about the Pura X Max beyond its triple lens rear camera, while Huawei's imagery shows the device being used in both portrait and landscape.
Prior to the Pura X Max's unveiling, Apple's rumored device was said to most resemble Oppo's Find N5. Samsung is also believed to be adopting a similar wide aspect ratio form factor for one of its upcoming foldables.
We've heard plenty of rumors about the foldable iPhone's design, but the first alleged dummy models appeared last week. The device will have a 5.5-inch display when closed, making it Apple's smallest current-generation iPhone. When open, it will be around 7.8 inches, which is around half an inch smaller than the iPad mini.
Apple is expected to debut its first foldable alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, with a launch likely to shortly follow the Pro devices' release. Most rumors have suggested that the foldable iPhone will start at around $2,000 and be available in traditional space gray/black and silver/white finishes.
One rumor claims that Apple will call it the "iPhone Ultra," rather than "iPhone Fold," which is the shorthand the media has largely been using.

True but those huawei, samsung etc foldables are just ****** products in development. Resale value tanks of each of their foldables, because they have tons of issues, like black spots that take over the entire screens, the fold becoming unbearable, dust, sand grains everything bigger then a mm destroying the hinge functionality and/or screen.
