I have one theory and that it’s when Apple caves to EU pressure and releases an iPhone with a type C port, they will simultaneously release a folding iPhone with no port that is meant to be the future of iPhones.

    Samsung has released their 5th generation folding phones and they’re still demonstrably unpopular. There is no evidence of any broad demand for a folding phone. Apple doesn’t make niche iPhones.

    My theory is Apple won’t release a folding phone until at the very least, the durability and feel of the screen material is addressed. In addition, I personally don’t think Apple will do a folding phone design until they find an implementation that does more than replicate the standard flip phone or just expand the screen real estate.
