I want that speculation to be true, but I also don't think that the Air is a stepping stone towards that. The risky parts on a folding phone are the bending screen and the hinge and the software features.
The iPhone Air tests none of those things.
- hedora 1y agoIt tests their assembly lines and supply chain by producing 100 million titanium cases. They did something similar when they transitioned the product line to aluminum. (As a product, it’s the opposite of what I’d want — worse battery, bigger screen, worse camera, but they’ll certainly sell enough to debug the assembly lines.)
- MisterSandman 1y agoThat doesn’t make sense, the 15pro and 16pro were already titanium, and they moved AWAY from titanium for those phones in the 17pro. I don’t disagree that it has something to do with supply chain, but it’s not the titanium cases.
