Folding iPhone 12 Controversy! (Analysis)

There’ve been rumors about Apple prototyping folding iPhones for almost a decade. I first heard about them around the time of the iPhone 4 or 4s. This week the idea of a folding iPhone is back in the news — and with more than a little controversy. So, what does a folding iPhone mean? How would it work? And why would Apple even make one? If not for #iPhone12, then any time thereafter?

Round, stainless steel edges like current iPhone 11 design. No notch — tiny forehead on outter display that houses Face ID." / Twitter How iPhone 12 Leaks - YouTube MORE: Nebula Twitter: https://twitter.com/reneritchie Instagram: https://instagram.com/reneritchie Web See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
