I wonder if they'll put the power button and or the volume buttons on the top of the Fold so as to avoid a mess of buttons on the side when it's closed. Maybe they'll forgo a camera control button on this one to simplify the situation.

Someone made a nice comparison of what the iPhone fold displays will look like compared to other foldable devices. Although I’d definitely prefer a larger display, I do think they are making the right move with the aspect ratio and in the end, that could be more useful in day to day use than having a larger screen.
What will be very interesting is to see how the rest of the industry reacts. All of the Android phones have settled on tall narrow cover screens with more square internal displays. With Apple going a completely different route, I’m sure at least some of the competition will be adapting their designs.
What a great comparison! Thanks for posting this video. And yeah, it’s a great way for Apple to differentiate the device from all other foldables as they are almost all indeed those tall cover displays with square inner displays.
Apple seems to be going for the full iPad inner display experience with the correct aspect ratio. I think it’s the right direction, as Apple places the focus on the inner display (which is the entire idea of a foldable), while others seem to focus more on the outer display being a normal phone size.
The Huawei Pura X is one of the few that does the same:
The new iPhone might actually be more like a wide and large flip phone instead of a book foldable like the Z Fold. I used the iPad Mini mostly in portrait mode instead of landscape too.
