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.
Bin this and bring back the mini so we can have a proper small form factor phone
If the foldable is the form factor of a mini, how would that go over?
Either is better than a 7” inch phone like the Pro Max. But I don’t know how reliable the flip form factor is yet.
I had the first gen razer before my current mini and it stopped working after about 6 months of use. It just stopped reading touch input after flipping it shut one day.
I’d buy this in a heartbeat lol
Same. I like the smaller form factor but don’t want to ditch screen space like the SE. And I prefer this style of flip over the giant tablet that folds down to a skinny screen.
But why?
Because I’m a millenial with a nostalgic craving for the satisfaction of a flip phone.
Ditch touch screen and give it physical buttons and we’ll be on to something.
People said the same thing about the notch in iPhone screens, and the removal of the head phone jack. They even said it about larger iPhones. And just like all these other “ideas” that should be skipped, people will buy it.
I still think the removal of the headphone jack was a very anti-customer move. It only benefited them to try to sell more earbuds.
I’ve known people that purchased the foldable android when it came out, they got rid of it.
I’m still proper pissed about this.
I love my giant iPhone and would never buy a foldable
I have the Samsung foldable (flip 4). It’s a nice gimmic, but does apple really want to force app developers to support yet another form factor? That’s supposedly one of the draws of apple development: you don’t have to support every random screen size made by some third party.
Apple fans will buy whatever Apple makes them want.
