Apple’s rumoured foldable iPhone (possibly iPhone Flip) might launch in 2026, but display crease, and design are roadblocks.
Just skip this idea. No one wants this.
Speak for yourself… I’m hoping google comes out with a flip phone Pixel. If I was an iPhone person this is exactly what I’d be hoping for.
I want a phone that folds up to be smaller than a normal phone so I don’t have to have giant bricks in my pocket.
Of all the foldable clamshell is the worst, doubling the width of your phone to save a few cm of height is so useless.
If it’s gotta be a folding phone make it fold out into an iPad.
“a few” … it literally cuts the length in half. For me personally, something like this is much desired. Having a 3x3x.5" block vs a 6x3x.25" block would be a major improvement.
But now it’s twice as thick
Which I’m totally okay with. In some of my clothes my pockets are doing gymnastics to try and fit the giant brick (because the phone is a long as the full length of my pocket). If you don’t have/like baggy pockets, these huge screen, long phones are a huge pain.
Having it be “twice as thick” means it’s about as thick as my wallet (and I have no complaints with that).
