2026 is your year guys. It's apparently going to be wider than your average slab phone to give it a better screen ratio as a tablet. Looks pretty cool.

I'm about to buy one.


I'm going to buy a Huawei or at least a Samsung

 

[Dacvak]

Honestly looks cooler than I expected.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Well, if Apple was ever going to do a foldable, it was going to have to be refined and market tested. This looks very nice, imho.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Looks pretty cool. I'm still skeptical about whether I would want this type of phone as my daily driver.

 

[AJUMP23]

I don't really want a fold-able phone. But it looks ok.

 

[p_xavier]

The iPhone 17 is so ugly so this thing looks like heaven.

 

[IntentionalPun]

I'll take a regular phone in those dimensions.

If the renders are accurate it'll be bigger version of Huawei's Pura X

 

[Hookshot]

I want the opposite, I wish they'd go back to the smaller phones. The functionality of a smart phone but snug in your pocket.

I do see the opportunities of a phone that can become a mini tablet but it's not for me.

You mean refined and market tested as in being commercially available for YEARS as an android device?

I'm no Apple fanboy but let's keep the fanboy warring out of this. Let them have their moment. I can't wait 2026 is the year Apple invents the foldable. As a tech nerd I'm very interested in seeing their foldable.

 

[MachRc]

I really do wonder if they'll be sourcing the screens from their competitor. Im sort of excited about the trifolds as an f7 user.

My man, you can't ask for solidarity amongst tech nerds in one moment then immediately fire shots in the next.

It was a little jokey joke.

It was a little jokey joke.

I figured as much

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Considering Apple product positioning and the need not to eat into iPhone sales this will be $1999.

It will eat into iPhone sales no matter the price. Most people who get this will skip the Pro Max pockets aren't that deep for most.

Something to keep an eye on, are we sure foldable phones are the next thing? I think the visible lines on the fold is a joke.

I think I read Apple solved the fold problem which is why they are releasing the phone only now.

 

[DR3AM]

Will wait for gen 2 or 3 before I make the commitment.

 

[Erebus]

I'm really looking forward to seeing how much this will cost in Europe! That said, I've only ever used a flip phone as a secondary device for work, and while it's super handy and easy to carry in any pocket, I don't really use the smaller screen much.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Pretty deep in the Apple ecosystem myself so really interested in this

That's what everyone is speculating. Props to them if theyve managed to do it. Samsung and everyone else has been trying to do it for nearly 7 years now

I've never come across a foldable phone out in the wild. Are these actually popular or is it all artificial?

Apple jumping on the bandwagon years later again.

It's not artificial but adoption is low (I think because of the cost) especially in America. I know a lot of women with flips. I only know one guy with a Fold. I'd get one but for me the camera is super important so until they have flagship grade cameras I'm not getting one.

Dumb, the last thing we need in society is bigger phones. You can't go to any event these days with phones ruining it for everyone. people are too self centered.

Just went to my kids band concert and even though it was said multiple time not to record with phones or take pics. its hundred bright ass screen lighting up the room.

is it so hard to understand that IF you must record something on your phone in the dark to lower your screen brightness all the way?
