Report: Apple is testing foldable iPhones, having the same problems as everyone else::Don't expect these clamshell-style foldables in 2024 or 2025 or maybe ever.

Did anyone ask for folding phones?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes! Phones with small screens are not useful. Phones which don't fit in pockets are not useful. Flip phones solve the problem and I've been wanting one for twenty years.

I think the solution is bigger pockets.

I can easily fit my 6.43 inches phone on my pockets, but that might not be true with women clothes.

Unless you want to have a tablet size screen in your pocket. Then I can see why foldable screens would be appealing
