The foldable iPhone might look like two iPhone Airs stuck together
Although this seems to be a lost conclusion that there will be a foldable iPhone, perhaps at the end of next year, there has not been much information about what it would look like. In the latest episode of his power on the newsletter, Mark Gurman says he says he will more or less look like two iPhone tunes stuck together.
This means that it should be quite thin, although potentially thicker than a Pixel 10 Pro fold (10.8 mm) and Galaxy Z Fold7 (8.9 mm) because an iPhone air arrives 5.6 mm thick. Although the sources of Ming-Chi Kuo suggest that the foldable will be a little thinner when it is unfolded, perhaps as little as 4.5 mm. Unfortunately, Gurman also expects the foldable iPhone to cost more than the Pixel fold, from at least $ 2,000, perhaps more.
An advantage to base the foldable on the design of the iPhone Air is sustainability. Although foldables have improved a lot over the years, there are still concerns about how they can resist abuse. But Gurman says that the iPhone fold will be made of titanium, just like the air, that jerryrigseverhyth and ifixit have found it quite hard.
Ifixit also gave the iPhone Air a surprisingly decent repair score of seven. If an iPhone fold could even approach the same repair score, it would be a big problem. Pixel Fold7’s repairability scores have won three, which means that these phones which are much more fragile than your standard glass rectangle are also much more difficult to repair.
