All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch

All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases

I'm shocked that Apple didn't just make the crease more obvious and consider it a design element and advertise it as something the consumer wants.

They are trying to make foldable iPhones because everyone else is making a foldable phone, but have they stopped and asked themselves if people want and need a foldable?

I have yet to see a real use case for something like a Samsung Z flip, and carrying a bulky Z fold phone in my pocket only to be able to have a tablet once in a while and watch a movie is not interesting enough.

There have been plenty of fads over the lifespan of the smartphone market. E.g. curved edge screens. I think curved screens are another and Apple is right to ignore it. There's too many compromises required for a foldable and not much benefit to be worth it.

I’d tolerate a crease to have an ipad on my pocket

I'm pretty perfectionist about some things, but I honestly forget all of the time about this little crease in my phone. I thought I might give a shit before I bought a Motorola Razr last year, and now I often forget that it's a foldable. Imagine if you will, a phone that actually fucking fits in your jean pockets...it's worth the little (often invisible) crease.

Whatever they do, when they release it the have to call it the iFold!

I want a slide out keyboard like on my G1.

They're all so desperate for an excuse to increase the price further, and I don't know anybody who wants this.

We're already at over 6 inch for phones. It's plenty big enough. If I want to see something on a bigger screen, I'll use a device with a bigger screen.

Soon we'll have tablet sized phones that fold multiple times. lol

Edit: Friends, i have bad news...

User error - you are all looking at it wrong

Apple is leaning into the criticism that all they do is copy Samsung tech. Nobody wants a folding iPhone.

It's the iBump, it's a haptic invention gently letting you know you have passed to the other half of the screen. They also made it visible to give you a gentle cue as to where the middle is.

Fold the foil outside the hinge?

Not completely related to the foldable iphone(tho im sure it would slap because it would be a good execution of the idea) but its such a shame that apple has to be so bitchy with their software. If theyd just open up the software(or the eu forces them to) i would instantly buy one when custom os's are available. Imagine getting a linux iphone.

GTFO with a folding phone. Stupid shit.

Foldable phones look and work like shit. Not a shock that Apple wants nothing to do with a silly fad— not until it’s worth it for them.
