Apple’s rumoured foldable iPhone (possibly iPhone Flip) might launch in 2026, but display crease, and design are roadblocks.

    Larger display but still compact in your pocket. It’s just a competitor to the Samsung flip phone

      Do those phones sell that well? I held one recently and it doesn’t seem very practical for someone that keeps taking their phone out back into their pocket often.

        It has its niche. Those who like it, really like it. My friend is basically only going to go with flip phones from now on because it fits completely inside his pockets and that it can act as its own tripod.

        I’m the sort of person that takes it out of my pocket and puts it back a lot. It’s not a big deal honestly, it feels good to open and close it.

        this is my thought too. i take my phone out hundreds of times a day and wonder how this would affect me if i had to unfold that much.
