Doubt that very much.

A friend of mine will be first in line to buy one of these. He's been holding off on new iPhones, waiting with his 15 Pro Max, until the foldable one comes out.
For me though I have little interest in one, at least if it's going to be US$1999 or more. So, I just bought a 17 Pro Max this year.
I heard that rumour like two years ago or something like that, and it's been repeated since. If true it's likely related to the thickness of the device and/or the fact the device is folded. Remember, MacBooks don't have Face ID either.
Outward folding hopefully can keep Face ID one day.It seems the most practical. Otherwise they would need 2 face id sensors. One facing out and one on the inside.
First iteration - old tech, typical by Apple, not a surprise. They will use all the latest features to be released year after year on slow and incremental fashion they have been doing all these years.Wait it's going to have Touch ID? Whoa had not heard that rumor.
This.The funny thing about this is, likely Apple will make a better performing folding phone than Samsung, after Samsung worked out all the R&D for them.
I wonder if the Fold X and the first folding iPhone will have literally the exact same screen, or if Apple will spec something different that performs better than what Samsung would be currently using? I can't imagine Samsung would allow that to happen. The latest Flip and Fold are pretty impressive.
Just out of interest, what do you dislike about FaceID (honest question!). To me, it’s a seamless way of unlocking my phone - I just look at it, and it unlocks.Hope so! I’d buy it just for that.
I dislike FaceID a whole bunch.
…It’s pretty obvious to me for significantly more productive use of a screen for editing, reading, consuming content on calendars/sheets, optimal group photos being able to be taken, and so onCould also be Google doubling down on foldables. They don’t have a vertical flipper yet.
I still do not see the value of a screen that unfolds into a square.
I see comments like this occasionally and I am genuinely curious. What don’t you like about Face ID? It has always worked perfectly for me. Every phone since XR. Reading glasses on, no problem. Sunglasses on, no problem. Very fast and smooth.Hope so! I’d buy it just for that.

That was the purpose of the Samsung Fold 🤣🤣I’ll wait for Gen 2. Not a knock against Apple or the Fold phone. I just prefer to wait for the kinks to be worked out.
For me it’s because, ironically, you have to look at your phone. Touch ID was great because you could unlock on a desk, in your car, on an armband when exercising etc all without having to look at your device.I see comments like this occasionally and I am genuinely curious.

For example, and I realize this is niche, but it's a regular annoyance for me: Face ID doesn't work if the phone is too close to your face. When I take off my glasses in bed for example, I need to look at it closer than usual and Face ID always fails. I just got the 17 Pro Max, and it behaves the same way as my old 12 Pro Max. I always have to remember to hold it further away than what I'd prefer and then bring it closer after Face ID registers.I see comments like this occasionally and I am genuinely curious.
