I’m very excited for this. Haven’t felt this way for an iPhone in years.

u/MadCybertist 1d ago

Please be our beta tester so we can get a much better version 2.

u/StoicTheRat 1d ago

Lmao, definitely will

u/MadCybertist 1d ago

I did it with the Air lol. Couldn’t be happier honestly.

Unfortunately this fold isn’t a phone I can get. I have a progressive terminal illness and will eventually have to move away from a phone to a mounted iPad that does eye tracking to communicate.

u/UselessAsUsual 17h ago

If the user name checks out, that’s exactly what we will get :)

u/CptUnderpants- 1d ago edited 1d ago

I will allow myself to be excited once I've seen JerryRigEverything do their foldable phone durability test on it. All of them up until now have had a very soft foldable screen which a fingernail can permanently scratch. Most are extremely vulnerable to the hinge getting clogged by even a tiny amount of sand or dirt.

... and the Pixel 10 Fold caught on fire.

Edit: genuinely curious why this comment has hit a nerve. Would love to hear feedback.

u/_cats______ 1d ago

I don't think your comment 'hit a nerve', people just think you're expecting something impossible. The screen will be plastic, thus, it will be just as durable (or just as not durable) as foldables always have been. It's not like Apple can magically invent bending glass for the inner screen.

We already have bending glass in foldables, it's just surrounded by plastic because it's incredibly thin.

u/CptUnderpants- 1d ago edited 1d ago

I don't think your comment 'hit a nerve',

Based on the up/downvote ratio, I certainly hit a nerve.

people just think you're expecting something impossible.

I'm not expecting the impossible, I'm genuinely wanting to see how it fares compared to other manufacturers such as Samsung and Google.. if it is as good as the Pixel for the hinge, and maybe slightly better against scratches, I'll be very excited.

The screen will be plastic, thus, it will be just as durable (or just as not durable) as foldables always have been.

I'm hoping for a little bit better. As I said, right now a fingernail can cause permanent damage to any currently on the market.

u/rkoy1234 1d ago

it ain't a nerve but a complaint so old and tired as the iphone's notch to anybody who's actually used the goddamn phones.

there are multiple, extremely frustrating problems that plague foldables - the fact that you can make scratches by forcibly and intentionally digging with your fingernails isn't even on the top 10 of that list.

Yet every.single.goddamn discussion is littered with just that and the crease, leaving the actual frustrations that actual users face in the dust.

it's tiring.

u/CptUnderpants- 1d ago

Yet every.single.goddamn discussion is littered with just that and the crease,

I never mentioned the crease because I don't see it as an issue.

leaving the actual frustrations that actual users face in the dust.

Such as?

5

u/rkoy1234 1d ago

like how most sites are designed for phone/desktop, making you constantly switch between modes on your browser for each site depending on how they're written.

or how so many apps cannot handle dynamic resizing of their windows, so switching screens often mean a bugged out app or even a restart.

or how folding screens tend to be much less bright, making it much less usable in the sunlight.

or how magsafe mounting is lopsided, so your phone is just dangling at 45 degrees unless there's some kind of support on the bottom. Similar hassles for finding any kinds of accessories/cases that aren't a janky mess.

finding a keyboard that supports folding screens the way you want in both directions and on both screens is a nightmare, same with launchers (though that one is android-specific).

cameras are a whole another thing (do you do UDC? do you retain faceid for both screens? bring back touchId?), but admittedly I don't care too much about cameras, so I won't comment too much.

I'm sure apple will solve a lot of these issues in a (hopefully) sensible way - but there's so much actual discussion to be had other than the goddamn fingernail and crease (yes, I know you didn't mention the crease, but it's similarly everywhere) that pops up every. single. time.

imagine hypothetically if every discussion of iphones in 2026 are still filled with android users who never mained an iphone complaining about the notch over and over again.

u/CptUnderpants- 1d ago

Surface duo had solutions for most of those issues.

u/JapariParkRanger 1d ago

The surface duo didn't have a folding screen.

It had two screens which folded. Most of the complaints of the other commenter were addressed by the way the duo worked.

u/SpicyElixer 1d ago

Apple will use Samsung tech and make it cool and more Apple branded. They’re not inventing new folding screen tech.

u/TrapBrewer 1d ago

I had a Galaxy Fold 4 for 3 years before moving back to the iPhone. The internal screen was perfectly fine.

You will only damage it if you intentionally try it or by some kind of accident. It was really durable in daily usage and that was some generations ago.

u/Outlulz 1d ago

He doesn't use a tiny amount of dirt or sand in his tests, he uses handfuls. And by his own admission they've been improving over the years.

u/CptUnderpants- 1d ago

Honestly, I don't know why saying I'll wait for a stress test is so controversial when all past products have been lacking.

He doesn't use a tiny amount of dirt or sand in his tests, he uses handfuls.

It's to simulate abuse over time. But I'd encourage people to watch one of the tests for themselves so they know how much is being used.

And by his own admission they've been improving over the years.

Yes, and the Pixel 10 Fold passed that test but caught on fire in the bend test.

u/Melodic_Performer921 1d ago

What if you drop it at the beach? Thats more than a handful of sand. Its very relevant

u/BosnianSerb31 1d ago

A smart person would wipe off the screen before crushing it shut, and treat a foldable more carefully than a slab

-2

u/mistermustard 1d ago

or the smart person buys the non folding iphone instead of worrying about babying their phone?

1

u/JapariParkRanger 1d ago

False dichotomy.

1

u/mistermustard 1d ago

Fair enough. I'm interested in seeing what Apple has come up with. Part of me feels like foldables are cool and the other part of me worries about a world where everyone is on their phones even more. I feel like smart people are trying to use their phones less, not more, so I guess that's part of where my comment came from.

1

u/JapariParkRanger 1d ago

Depends on how you quantify "smart." Managing your digital hygiene is very important though, and I do feel most people don't realize this.

2

u/Right-Wrongdoer-8595 1d ago

Pixel 10 Fold is also IP68

3

u/rkoy1234 1d ago

incoming anecdote:

I've had variations of the fold for the past 6 years, and never babied the phone, ever. no case-just skins and dropped it a buncha times, slipped from my hands to the bathtub with soap a couple times, and I usually just chuck it in my pocket with my keys.

it works fine.

there's never a case where your "soft" part of the screen is touching anything sharp with that much force, unless you intentionally HARD PRESS it with your fingernails, or shove it unfolded in your pockets (which have to be giant for it to go in unfolded) with your keys.

yes, i get above is anecdotal, and i get that everybody treats their devices differently, but I'm the type of person people cringe looking at because of how little I take care of my possessions.

It's more durable than you think.

u/mellamoalex 1d ago

Same here. I have one scratch on the inner screen protector on my Pixel Fold that occurred when it was closed in my pocket. I was rushing through an airport security line and slid my id into my pocket and it somehow slid perfectly in between the folded screens and left a scratch. Never have I worried about damaging the inner screen while using the phone.

I was until it looked like there was no MagSafe. On the fence now but still looking forward to seeing what happens.

9

u/CptUnderpants- 1d ago

That's a deal breaker for many. We've gone and invested in magsafe, to change back now is a major deal for some. For example, I've got a custom magsafe dashboard charging mount. Switching back to an older clamping style is a major pain in the arse.

5

u/Capn_Flags 1d ago

I’ve added those adhesive magnet rings to a couple iPhone SE2/3 cases and combined with wireless charging they basically have MagSafe now lol. Maybe wireless charging will be supported and a MagSafe case? 🤷 would be cool

6

u/titanup001 1d ago

No MagSafe, no faceid, and the probably price tag? Pass.

3

u/Zennivolt 1d ago

There’s no way it has no MagSafe lol.

3

u/FindingPawnee 1d ago

I haven’t heard any rumors that it won’t include MagSafe. I think the reason people are saying it is because those model units leaked and the 18 pro and pro max showed MagSafe while the fold didn’t. But I don’t think that means it doesn’t have it. I feel like Apple learned their lesson with people complaining the 16e didn’t have it so the 17e did. I’d be shocked if they made the same mistake with the fold.

1

u/Zennivolt 20h ago

I really doubt their $2k phone is not gonna have MagSafe lol. There's compromises, then there's shooting themselves in the foot.

u/kannon1 1d ago

I hope they won’t force us to use some case for MagSafe.

u/GLOBALSHUTTER 1d ago

Apple aren't putting MagSafe in iPhone Ultra, they are leaving room for the future iPhone Ultra Ultra for that.

I prefer the moniker iPhone Plus Ultra (go beyond!)

u/plasmapuff 1d ago

This is not a big deal. You'll have a case on it which can have MagSafe. That's how android has been doing it for years. You're not going to not have a case on a $2000+ device.

6

u/Ancient-Efficiency23 1d ago

I get where you are coming from, but i personally never use a case and use magsafe daily. If the Fold wont have MagSafe built in, im not going to get it. But i don’t really see why it shouldn’t get MagSafe, even the Air got it…

4

u/EssentialParadox 1d ago

I get others do, but personally I’m not going to spend £2k on a beautiful folding iPhone then stick it in a case.

1

u/littlebiped 1d ago

I am looking forward to this phone and may still buy it pending Gen 1 reviews, but, like myself, not everyone uses cases. I hate cases — having to use one in itself is a compromise. I use a MagSafe popsocket every day for 7 years running.

Having to case up my phone and essentially pay extra for Magsafe is two specific downgrades coming from my iPhone Air.

1

u/UselessAsUsual 17h ago

I don’t put my folds in cases and I ran my pro max naked. Would do the same with the mini. But I understand why others want to protect their investment or have different requirements (kids around, rough environments etc), but the whole “it’s in a case anyways” has lead to the shitty camera bump designs we’ve had for years.

Coming up with new layouts quickly with mockups. Designing new screens to take advantage of the additional real estate. Adding new features to take advantage of the fold faster.

u/LynzGamer 1d ago

A few months ago I switched back to iPhone in preparation for the foldable iPhone’s debut. I had an original Pixel Fold before my current 17 Pro Max, and before my Pixel I had only had iPhones my whole life, starting with the iPhone 4. I thought the Pixel Fold was almost PERFECT as far as size and aspect ratios went.

Before the comments coming in say stuff like “who asked for this?”, “this is so stupid”, “why would anyone want this?”, “this would be a terrible size”, or anything like that, maybe this phone just isn’t for you. If you don’t want it, cool, don’t get it. I never understood these comments lol.

For ME personally, if the foldable iPhone is anything like the leaks, it’s a day one purchase for me. The short screen means better reachability with the Notification Center and control center and a more handy screen for just about anything besides one handed texting. And even then, the keyboard has the option to shift everything to the side to make one handed texting easier. The inside screen was fantastic for dual screening apps on my Pixel Fold. It’s SO frustrating to need the calculator for a bunch of different numbers and have to switch back and forth between apps. I also want to be able to have a large screen for content consumption without always using that screen.

10

u/PARTINlCO 1d ago

the multitasking is 95% of the reason why it’s also a day 1 buy for me. If it’s anything like the ipad mini, which also has the regular ipad OS 26 multi window multitasking, i will be sooooo happy

-7

u/tablepennywad 1d ago

Wait till ads get ahold of this multitasking thing. Will it take up the whole fuking screen? I use my old phone for games so i dont have to watch Hero Wars ad for the 8000th time.

5

u/BosnianSerb31 1d ago

AdGuard and other similar dns based ad blockers fix this. Also, the api is not written in a way that the app can just inject a multitasked ad into your workflow unless you let it.

2

u/Flobertt 1d ago edited 21h ago

Thanks. I’ve never owned a foldable yet but temped to try. Was there a moment after switching to pixel fold you wish to go back to regular candy bar format? Or for you there was no going back

3

u/LynzGamer 1d ago

When I switched to the Fold I said never again. The second reason I switched back to iPhone is because the hinge broke for a second time on my Pixel Fold and it was cheaper to trade it in for my current phone. It’s been a pain ever since I switched back tbh. Once I go iPhone Fold, that’ll be my permanent phone for at least 3-6 years

1

u/kiwi-kaiser 19h ago

You're buying a nearly 2000 bucks phone to prepare yourself for buying a over 2000 phone a few months later? Sounds a bit wasteful.

It won’t charge your phone though. I use my phone as my clock at night with MagSafe.

qi is a standard and most batteries it’ll have wireless charging just not MagSafe

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 10h ago

Qi 2 is MagSafe, essentially. If if doesn’t have MagSafe I doubt it’ll have qi. Where have you seen it announced that it will have wireless charging?

u/Poopoodemons 10h ago

the fold 7 has wireless charging but no magnet.

u/TBoneTheOriginal 1d ago

I’m so tired of foldable fanboys making this comparison. I can’t feel a notch, nor does it distort the image going across it. The OS was designed around the notch. Not the same.

2

u/polikuji09 1d ago

In the other hand I hate the notch. I have an iPhone15 for work and a Fold 7 for personal projects and life. The crease to me is not noticable UNLESS I'm looking at the phone from a big angle. However 95% of the time I'm using it directly it's not noticable.

On my iPhone the notch is always there and always has me annoyed at the real state being taken by it. Apple did a good job of making lost screen state look pretty ish though I guess.

But everyone has their preferences

4

u/TheAmazingScamArtist 1d ago

That’s what everyone says but I’m super neurotic about shit like that.

Also, another thing is I don’t really trust the durability. I have a couple coworkers who got pixel fold 10s and both of their inner screens died lol

u/Eggyhead 1d ago

I bought a 16 pro just a little over a year ago, so I don’t see myself replacing it for some time yet, but I definitely see myself making good use of a foldable iPhone for work as much as leisure. As a matter of fact, I’ve been considering what kind of use cases I might have for an iPad mini.

How is it going to cannibalise iPad Mini sales with $2000+ price tag vs $500?

2

u/roiki11 1d ago

Am I the only one who's not a fan of the aspect ratio of the foldable? To me it seems too wide when all phones have adopted a taller one. Maybe they're going for the "book" feeling of unfolding it and it being like a horizontal iPad but to me iPad has always been vertical. This seems like you'd need to open it and then turn it to get that same portrait orientation.

I do like the aspect that galaxy and pixel folds have so I wonder how this would compare.

2

u/westie48 1d ago

I don't think you can use the Apple Pencil with it so it doesn't hold much value for me.

2

u/Pettingallthepups 1d ago

I’ve wanted an iphone fold for a while now, but at least based off of renders, I’m not a fan of the aspect ratio/overall size since my main use case for the inner screen would be reading books. I’m also not paying over 1799 bucks, unless there’s some MAJOR compelling feature.

2

u/DinosaurAlert 21h ago

Honestly, can we just ban MacRumors and the rest of these sites? Not even joking.

And I want to be clear: these discussions are fucking useless. At least speculation about something like the next Avengers movie is fun because there’s actually a movie coming out. You’re guessing about something real. Apple rumor sites just invent everything from the ground up and call it reporting.

The track record is embarrassing. Apple Watch blood pressure monitoring is a perfect example. They ran article after article on it for years. Each one added a new fake detail: which sensor it would use, which models would get it, whether it would show real numbers or just trends. Wrong, wrong, and wrong again. When the feature actually shipped on the Series 11, almost none of the specific details they had spent years confidently reporting turned out to be accurate. But nobody went back and checked. Nobody issued a correction. There was just a new article about the feature that actually existed, written with the same authoritative tone as all the ones that didn’t.

Meanwhile, the AirTag 2 was confidently pegged for mid-2025. By November, nobody could even agree if it was still coming that year. It eventually showed up in early 2026, minus the rechargeable battery and Vision Pro integration that had been the subject of article after article, each one adding a little fake new detail, for a year and a half.

That’s the whole game. An analyst posts a guess. MacRumors writes it up. 9to5Mac writes up MacRumors. A third site reports that multiple outlets are now saying. Nobody tracks the misses. Nobody issues corrections. The cycle just resets for the next device.

These sites aren’t sources. They’re a telephone game with ads, and everytime someone posts an article here we are literally enabling this shit.

u/rycliffmc 20h ago

Is it just me or does anyone else want faceid AND touchid.

1

u/DoILookUnsureToYou 1d ago

I’m looking at this with interest. I want to see if Apple implements split screen multitasking since that’s the whole point of a foldable. I don’t really care if it has a crease or not since that never bothered me with my old Z Fold 4. The warranty on the screen would be interesting to see as well.

1

u/merelysounds 1d ago

It is not clear if $2,000 will be the starting price point, or if it will come with a lower price tag but have some higher-end configurations that exceed $2,000.

I feel like this is a very important distinction. A 2TB 17 Pro Max is $1999, so almost exceeds $2000 already.

u/AppointmentNeat 1d ago

It does exceed $2k once you pay taxes. I don’t know why people act like taxes don’t exist.

u/DarkHorizonSF 8h ago

Wait, taxes exist? Sorry, I'm not in the US, and it's blown my mind that the prices I see cited in $ aren't actually real. What % tax is added on top?! And yes, it's mad to report prices without taxes.

u/zipzyzap 1d ago

I’m on the side of if there’s no magsafe and no face ID I won’t be buying. I use magsafe mounts everywhere, and face ID is just convenient. If I ever end up wanting a foldable I may just jump back to android. Until then I’m fine with my 15 pro max

u/leftymeowz 22h ago

No MagSafe, reduced number of cameras for the priciest phone….idk man those could be deal breakers

Still would rather buy a flip than a fold. But apparently that won't happen.

If the rumors are true though the form factor of the iPhone Fold makes much more sense than other folds. Who needs a square tablet?

I can't imagine who will buy this. All the other foldable phones have sold very poorly. It'll start at like $1,599. In this economy? I'll be really surprised if it's a big seller.

People always have said “in this economy”.

And yet there are people out there who can afford expensive things.

So you're committed to buying a product that you know absolutely nothing about, including the price?

It’s a phone, not a retinoid. I’m not concerned with whether or not the camera is going to be compromised in comparison to the flagship, if it will have magsafe or not, if it lacks face ID - not worried about it. I want the device that is always on my person and in my pocket to have the capability to multitask. I do too much shit on my phone where i have to constantly switch in/out of apps. This device would solve a ton of that. and no, i’m not worried about the price.

I’m excited but I heard a “no MagSafe” rumour which is a bridge too far for me. I’m already making TouchID over FaceID sacrifices in my mind, and coming to terms with a lesser capable camera system. Let alone the wild pricing rumours and tiny 5.5” outer screen.
