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.
