Nonsense.
Apple Vision Pro, HomePods, some of Apple services, even products like the AirPods Max have absolutely failed to grip the deeply invested Apple fandom.
Don’t get me wrong they have their fans, but they prove this whole “Apple could stick their logo on anything and people would buy it” narrative is complete bogus.
An iPhone Flip, especially if priced very high, has a very high probability of not catching on. Just like the Mini.
To paraphrase an old political zinger: I know Vpro, HPs, etc... and iPhone is no Vpro, HPs, etc. Make an iPhone that folds or rolls or is shaped like a crescent or parallelogram and the iPhone fans would gush and praise it like the second coming. This is not some accessory or fringe/niche creation... this is the core device from which all Apple things flow.
But we can just wait & see. I'm confident that eventually an Apple Fold will come... that it will be priced shockingly high... and that "we" will suddenly see many uses for a foldable iPhone as evidenced by the wave of "shut up and take my money" that will immediately follow. After all, the vast majority of "we" once spent a couple of years pounding away at phablet-sized phones as "abominations!" and similar while Apple clung to 3.5" as perfection... and then 4" as perfection. And when Apple flipped, "we" flipped right with them as if "we" never wrote such stuff. Soon it was "how did we ever get by with those 'puny' screens?" that not so long before we referred to as 'perfect.'
