Other Rumoured iPhone fold size - concept drawing and renders

See, for me the annoying thing about the current lineup is the width. Ultimately that’s what’s limiting how comfortable it is to hold single handed. This being a fair bit wider than the mini, I’m not sure it will be easier to use….

Don't use your iPhone with one hand unless you absolutely must. (Like standing on a subway, etc.) Using two hands is far easier.

I created another one in comparison to the iPhone Air:

The idea behind the larger camera plateau is because when you see the internals of the Air, a second camera next to it would take up too much space, so below it would make more sense. Also not having a 3rd camera leaves more room for the brains of the device and then the rest of the bottom and the other screen side can be completely batteries.

Regarding the hinge, I think other manufacturers would've come up with something really innovative already, as Apple is more of perfecting instead of innovating at this time. But I hope they can surprise us.

Just a thought with the camera plateau... There still needs to be room below for MagSafe. That is going to determine how tall the plateau can be in relation to the device size.

I wonder if Apple can go with a square rear camera sensor like the front camera on the 17s to have a wide-angle option without needing a second sensor. Wouldn't be quite as good as a dedicated sensor but would bridge the gap and reduce space used for the camera array. Logic board design and internal layout would essentially be identical to iPhone Air (minus additional connectors for the inner screen) in that instance. Battery would fill space below logic board just like the Air and entire second half of the phone could be dedicated to battery.
