Apple's rumoured foldable iPhone (possibly iPhone Flip) might launch in 2026, but display crease, and design are roadblocks.

It has its niche. Those who like it, really like it. My friend is basically only going to go with flip phones from now on because it fits completely inside his pockets and that it can act as its own tripod.

I bet the screen is less prone to scratching from anything in your pockets

It's a tradeoff game. On one side it's really practical to have essentially laptop with you all the time. But on the other it's heavy and bulky. There are no car or motorcycle mounts for it, etc. I still love and use my Fold4, two years now. Fold6 is significantly better designed and made. Samsung is making big strides in this direction.
