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! 😁

I can’t stretch my dumb fingers to swipe down from the top with my thumb, one-handed, on a 14 or 15. The 13 mini is perfect.

It’s called an apple watch now.

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

UltraMagnus0001 ,

If the foldable is the form factor of a mini, how would that go over?

TORFdot0 ,

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 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.

AlphaAutist ,

As an iPhone user, hard pass

Louisoix ,

I’d gladly trade-in my 8pro for a foldable pixel, even though I don’t want to change phones often…

EncryptKeeper ,

I’d buy this in a heartbeat lol

rbesfe ,

But why?

EncryptKeeper ,

Because I’m a millenial with a nostalgic craving for the satisfaction of a flip phone.

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.

whynotzoidberg ,

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.

finley ,

But now it’s twice as thick

Dark_Arc ,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

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).

DBT ,

Fuck all the way off with this idea

iiGxC ,

Should be called iPhold

_sideffect ,

Imagine what they’re going to charge? Lmao

$2999 + $499 for a bendable case

eran_morad ,

Fuck no.

Apple always the trail blazer…
