A “normal” sized phone that folds out to a 10” tablet.
I’d be very interested to learn more about an Apple device like this (i.e. a Phone that folds out to a tablet sized device, not a phone which folds in half for be smaller in the pocket). Battery life would have to approach iPad levels though.
According to theinformation.com:
"Apple is working on a foldable iPhone that could be released as early as
2026 and in recent months reached out to suppliers in Asia to make
components for the device, according to two people with direct
knowledge of the matter.
The phone would fold widthwise like a clamshell, the people said. That
would make it similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, which was released
in 2020."
I really hope this rumor is correct, but I’m not holding my breath. I could see the reality being closer to 2027/2028. But I’m absolutely ready for a flip phone.
I keep waffling between the Pro and Pro Max. I want more screen but I’m getting tired of a tablet in my pocket!
I keep a 6.3" iPhone in my pocket and an iPad in my bag.
Yeah, the Flip style isn’t what I’d be looking for, it’s the Fold type which folds out from the equivalent of an iPhone sized screen to 2 or 3 times that size as shown in the article. Effectively a phone and a tablet.
I want a Pro Max which doubles or triples in width. Of course, all dependent on cost.
Yah, I don’t want to carry an iPad in a bag everywhere I go either. Of course, I could be overestimating the times I use it.
I actually kind of want the Z Flip style where it’s much smaller in my pocket and then folds into a phone. half the time, I could get away with just checking the screen on the front.
I guess I’m confused at what we are talking about. I thought we were wish casting a bit. Now we are talking about Apple Intelligence?
No, it’s me.
