    Been using the fold from 2-6. While this statement is true from 2-4, def untrue for 5 and 6.

    iPhone pro max weight 7.81oz. Fold 6: 8.43 oz

    7% more weight

    iPhone pro max: 8.25mm Fold 6: 12.1mm folded

    So about 30% thicker and 7% more weight for essentials double the real estate. Seems like a no brainer for me.

        What? That’s the dumbest thing. Of course it’s going to be twice as thick if you fold it. Everything is. Water is wet and the sky is blue. No shit.

        If they made a 6mm folded iPhone and the current iPhone is 8.5mm. that’s actually an improvement over a previous gen iPhone and that is actually useful information.
