It’s clear that super thinness is a technology imperative necessary to get Foldable IPhones. In order to fold, you first must solve thinness (since the final decide will be 2x once folded).
Apple focusing on thinness is proof to me a foldable phone is next.
- moomoo11 1y agoWhy do phones need to bend?
- jagged-chisel 1y agoBecause. Seriously. Take a look at the foldable touchscreen phones that do exist. "Because" is the only answer.
- oblio 1y agoWouldn't you want a moderately priced device weighing under 200g with a big screen? I would. It would be great for reading books everywhere.

- oblio 1y agoAwesome, can I fit in my pocket and will I have it with me at all times?
- jagged-chisel 1y agoIf you acquire men’s clothing with proper pockets, yes. The second part is entirely up to you.
- oblio 1y agoLOL. I have perfectly fine pants, thank you. I already carry my keys, my wallet, my phone, the last thing I want in there is another item that's bigger than my phone. And most people are like me, which you will see in a few years, when foldable sales take off.

- MrDrMcCoy 1y agoI wouldn't. I like being able top use my phone one-handed and not have the battery die before the end of the day.
- matt-attack 1y agoThere’s a single and obvious reason. Bigger screen. And if you’re going to ask why a bigger screen? It’s the same reason your laptop or desktop isn’t 7” wide.
- ileonichwiesz 1y agoMy laptop isn’t 7” wide because I do my work on it, and that work involves reading long text files and requires a keyboard big enough to comfortably type said long text files, not because “bigger screen = always better”. It’s all about the use case.
