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.

My thoughts exactly. I gain almost nothing with this design change, as compared to keeping the current or similar-to “bar” form and folding out from there.

I’m starting to have visions of Zoolander and his ridiculously small cell phone…

“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

Haha wtf? Give me a new iPhone Mini instead please 😂

stoy ,

I would love a new iPhone with the same size as the first iPhone SE

magiccupcake ,

People didn’t buy the last mini, so why would Apple do it again?

Dozens of us did! 😁

Imagine what they’re going to charge? Lmao

$2999 + $499 for a bendable case

frog_brawler ,

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

I love the idea of it but I have to agree, it’s just less repairable and causes even more e-waste. Smartphone advancement is at a point where we could easily be using the same device for at least 8 years, but not if they come with planned obsolescence as a feature.

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.

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.

Fuck no.

Apple always the trail blazer…
