Same question here. Why would I buy this instead of folding phones that provide a tablet-like screen on demand?

  This is likely a prototype for their folding phone, which are essentially just two ultra-thin phones stuck together.

    I hope you're right, but this likely means having to wait another generation to see a folding iphone

    Isn't it the hinge, the folding oled screen and general durability of moving parts that are the hard parts of a foldable? This has none of those.

  The iPhone air is half the price isn’t it? But yeah, if you want a foldable the Air isn’t one.

  Stop bringing up the folding phone in different threads. Very few people want that.

    > Very few people want that Do you have any evidence behind it? I personally would love it, price is the biggest blocker tbh.

      And now I wonder whether that’s genuine or not. I can imagine someone being truly excited about a folding phone (I have a friend like that), but of course I can imagine someone doing that to promote something. A folding phone, maybe.
