Report: Apple's folding device taking shape, isn't an iPhone

23 February 2024
The report corroborates that Apple won't be ready with any folding device before 2026.

Sort by:

Everything from apple is iSomething. And if it's a phone, it will be iPhone. Nothing they say will change that fact.

It's not like they've been exclusively sold for business customers lol. And just because Apple products get overhyped and bought by consumers doesn't suddenly make their iPad the mass market default

            And smart watches were big before apple, remember pebble and all of its competitors?

              Folding is a new form factor.

              So they will give it a new OS... Not iPadOS nor iOS.

              But this will prove confusing and disappointing, as they may remove features that is found solely on iPhone, like carplay or some apps.. developers can also opt out.. further limiting its launch apps.

                    Introducing all new iFold😁 $2199

                      i thought they made one in 2016 or something

                        iPad Fold? iFold Pad? Or maybe just iFold..?
                        I think iFold is the coolest name..

                              Remember the smartwatch? Motorola etc were years head of Apple. Guess where they are now. Apple is a giant business with load of money. They may not seem to be as “innovative,” but when they decided to enter a new segment, the other players better brace for themselves.

                                Just what I was thinking about! If Ipads could be folded to the pro max sizes, and work both as phone and a pad, would be an idea to materialise in coming couple of years for all manufacturers! Only the four or more folds may be too tough an ask initially?

                                  gsmguru, 24 Feb 2024Don't say Apple is perfect software experience-wise. T... moreTrue, but compare to the basic glitches on Lenovo foldable Windows laptops, where even switching modes or orientations is glitchy. Much worse user experience.

                                    Foldables should only be sold when crease is no longer an issue.
                                    All them have.
