I’ve been waiting years for Apple to introduce an unfoldable iPhone.
You can just get any 15 lineup right now, none of them can fold, sames as all previous ones😂😂.
Jokes away. The concept of foldables is nice and im realy into the clamshell phone but trust me folding phones are years away of being perfect. We are just barely getting phones that have very resistant screens. Folding screens are a joke in resistance, the materials are not yet there.
Honor v2 is impresively thin but still does not properly function as it should. All brands break very easily if you are not carefull enough and sometimes even if you are.
Sure there might be people who have one a lot of time and is pristine but not the majority. The rate in which these screens fail are incredibly high.
Apple is mighty slow to adopt things ( but sometimes innovates ahehad of its time too) if they dont have this product yet it really is because there is no product consistency yet. Apple as a company cares a lot about its reputation and they perfectly know when something is not good enough yet. (Side note: apple will also take time to “innovate” on how the folding screen is used and the os design, so that will add time to the launch of a foldable.
If they would launch something today there will definitelly be a lot of issues as other brands are having. 2026 or even 2027 seems a good date for me for launch. And even then i think 1st gent foldable from apple wont be the one to get, it probably will be better than the competition but a 2nd gen can polish some things.
That said. I think batteries are almost there in having the density enough to have a decent battery life. The outer screen is pretty much perfect ( on clamshell models), durable, has “practicaly no bezels” and some companies make it so you can do the same as the inside one, think it was motorola.
So yeah give it a time and i will definitely come its time. Meanwhile, unfoldable phones are getting quite good, just went from an xs max to a 15 pro max. Its good but not hyper impresive update as in the past used to be but man the battery life is absolutely amazing, great bezel reductions good speakers 120hz screens are life changing, and many more things.
