Cool folding Phone concept - sekker - 02-16-2021 I do not need a folding smartphone. But if I had one, it'd be an iPhone if it could be as cool as this. https://9to5mac.com/2021/02/16/folding-iphone-with-apple-pencil/ Re: Cool folding Phone concept - SteveG - 02-17-2021 One more step in calling and receiving. Just like you have to hold your hand up with the pioneering Apple Watch to do anything. Re: Cool folding Phone concept - Markintosh - 02-17-2021 Pass Re: Cool folding Phone concept - RAMd®d - 02-17-2021 One more step in calling and receiving. First, for a huge segment of phone or 'Phone users, making and receiving calls is a lower priority than screen real estate. Jobs said nobody wants a big phone. He was very wrong. Second, similar to what was depicted, Apple would/will almost certainly provide the ability to answer a call (even without AirPods) without opening a 'Phone. Just like you have to hold your hand up with the pioneering Apple Watch to do anything. No, you don't. I can view the time simply by turning my wrist towards me, just like I did 98% of the time with a conventional 'dumb' watch. Or, if I want, it can be switched to always on. But I prefer the dark screen went not doing anything. Other than telling the time or reading a notification, yes, I do have to raise my hand a little to do almost anything else. You know, like all those things traditional watches can't do. So, in summation... A folding 'Phone won't be for everybody. But it will be a 'thing' that a lot of people will wonder how they did without. I like my 12 mini, but if Apple made a folder that was a little smaller and opened up bigger, I'd sure consider it. Whoever gets the production version down, really down, will have the TARDIS of phones. Whether I buy one or not, I want it to be a 'Phone.
