Supposed hardware mockups for the iPhone 17 Pro and Air from a case maker's convention.

Just give me an iPhone flip phone.

iPhone flip phone would be pretty great. But something like the phone in Her, not these god forsaken folding phones that open into a tablet (which apparently is coming next year). “When folded it’s the size of large regular phone!” No. Gross.

Like literally just take the iPhone Pro and make it fold in half. Rake in a trillion dollars. The end.

Exactly. iPhone flip, not iPhone fold.



I'm not sure they'll ever do it though because they probably don't like how soft the screens have to be.

Somehow, I'd assume they'd just change the name. Like, iFold or something. Plus I also assume they might just have two screen vs a malleable screen and do something where the pixels go right to the edge to create something that looks like a single screen. So instead of a screen that constantly has to fold, it just has a few mm of screen that perhaps fold down at the hinge and the two panels meet up together when unfolded to create a continuous screen.

I want a phone that rolls out like an old timey parchment.
