The 256GB version of the Pro Max model of iPhones have been just over $2000 since the launch of the iPhone XS Max back in 2018 in Australia, so I'm guessing Apple's foldable will be anywhere from $3000+ to $4000+ depending on storage capacity. And to think, we were once known as "the lucky country"🙄.
It's not going to cost me, because I won't be buying one until at least gen 3 or 4, if that.
Not me. I only use my iPhone 13 Mini for phone calls and streaming music in my cars, and my iPad Mini for everything else….. texting, emails, Internet browsing, games, etc. I’m literally going to treat this folding phone as a folding iPad I can more easily carry around that can also make phone calls.
“Excellent reviews” don’t mean much when the average person can’t even name one of those Chinese foldables, let alone find one in a store. The problem isn’t that they’re bad it’s that they’re forgettable. Apple not making the market? Come on. That’s literally what they do. People said the same thing before the iPhone, iPad, the Apple Watch, even AirPods then everyone scrambled to catch up. Apple might price it high but when they do it’s not just a phone it’s an entire ecosystem with support, updates, and resale value. Meanwhile, half these Android folds age like milk after 12 months. So ya I’ll believe it buddy.
I highly doubt it. The Mini is very popular, and $1600 cheaper than the folding phone, so two completely different markets.
Zac, one last request from me. Could you show us the folding iPhone between the iPhone Pro Max and Mini (just as you already have in this post), but unfolded? I would super appreciate it. Thanks.
I doubt that there will be an official merger once again. I’m interested in seeing the software implementation for its foldable, ie perhaps use a custom variant of iPadOS that enforces a single window mode when the clamshell is closed.
Appreciate the concern, but don’t worry, I pace myself. Gotta leave some energy to help you understand why they’re still miles ahead.
An enormous thank you mate. I super appreciate it. Tremendous work!Blairh - buddy - I'm never going to get this thing finished if you keep distracting me like this
Just kidding, happy to help. This took like 1 minute because the models were already imported into Unreal. I realised looking at this now, I got the scale of the Dynamic Island wrong - but I'm too lazy to keep fiddling with it at the moment.

To anyone who didn't see my previous posts, this the 7.8" unfolded internal screen at a 4:3 aspect ratio compared to a 15 Pro Max and 12 mini. more images of my guesswork can be seen here.
At the park? Unlikely. Plus if you’re going to go to that much trouble, an iPad is stupid and completely worthless compared to a full computer multi monitor setup.
What I understand is that they’re off their game and no indication that anything Earth shattering is changing that anytime soon. They’re in a downward trend and if you can’t see that, don’t know what else to say.
